HA! Found the problem --- thank-you everyone. Aparently, this little
device expects a 0x01 as the first byte of any command. Heh. Works
now.
So if you need dry contact I/O ... this seems to work for FreeBSD...

Re: Nvidia nforce2 sata controller
Someone suggested I check out 6-Current as many nvidia controllers were added. i do see nforce3 & nforce4 sata controllers in there. I do not see the pci id for the nforce2 sata controller on my motherboard, however.

ggate failures.
I have two systems, each with 4 300 gig SATA disks. Let's call them m0 and m1. M1 exports it's disks with ggated ... on two private GigE networks. M0, on those same two GigE networks, imports them with ggatec. M0, then does the following: Mirror Disks == = s0 ggate0 da0s1g s1 ggate1 da1s1g s2 ggate2 da2s1g s3 ggate3 da3s1g And then: concat Disks == = v0 s0 s1 s2 s3 (so v0 is a concatination of 4 mirrors that consist of a local and remote disk, each) Now... This all works, and we create a filesystem on v0. The problem arises that whenever a lot of activity occurs on v0 (untaring a copy of /usr is sufficient), the ggate links break down. An example message from the dmesg: GEOM_MIRROR: Request failed (error=5). ggate2[WRITE(offset=25989184, length=8192)] Now... I don't know a lot about ggate, but this appears trivial to trigger. Has anyone tried similar configurations and is there any wisdom about ggate configurations?

Nvidia nforce2 sata controller
I have a MSI k7n2 delta2 lsr motherboard (msicomputer.com). Odd as it
sounds, it has a nvidia sata controller. From a post on current in
december, I learned it uses the pata controller and another chip in
front of it. The sata controller is not detected by 5-STABLE and i'd
like to see it included. I noticed the how to write a problem report
documentation recommended bouncing things off a mailing list first.
Here i am.
I've played around with the sources of the ata driver and managed to
get the card to report properly with hints from that thread in december
on current. I also figured out that having the controller initialize
with the sata init routine instead of the via init seemed to make it
work and negotiate SA150.
i'm still having a few stability problems with the system. I don't
know if its the driver or my NIC. It tends to only happen when i'm
using the network (cvsup, etc) so i'm not sure.
in /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/ i made the following changes
ata-chipset.c:
The ata_nvidia_ident function now contains this
int
ata_nvidia_ident(device_t dev)
{
struct ata_pci_controller *ctlr = device_get_softc(dev);
struct ata_chip_id *idx;
static struct ata_chip_id ids[] =
{{ ATA_NFORCE1, 0, AMDNVIDIA, NVIDIA, ATA_UDMA5, "nVidia
nForce" },
{ ATA_NFORCE2, 0, AMDNVIDIA, NVIDIA, ATA_UDMA6, "nVidia
nForce2" },
{ ATA_NFORCE2_MCP, 0, AMDNVIDIA, NVIDIA, ATA_UDMA6, "nVidia
nForce2 MCP" },
{ ATA_NFORCE2_MCP_S, 0, AMDNVIDIA, NVIDIA, ATA_SA150, "nVidia
nForce2 MCP SATA" },
{ ATA_NFORCE3, 0, AMDNVIDIA, NVIDIA, ATA_UDMA6, "nVidia
nForce3" },
{ ATA_NFORCE3_PRO, 0, AMDNVIDIA, NVIDIA, ATA_UDMA6, "nVidia
nForce3 Pro" },
{ ATA_NFORCE3_MCP, 0, AMDNVIDIA, NVIDIA, ATA_UDMA6, "nVidia
nForce3 MCP" },
{ ATA_NFORCE4, 0, AMDNVIDIA, NVIDIA, ATA_UDMA6, "nVidia
nForce4" },
{ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}};
I added { ATA_NFORCE2_MCP_S, 0, AMDNVIDIA, NVIDIA, ATA_SA150, "nVidia
nForce2 MCP SATA" },
Then in ata_nvidia_chipinit(device_t dev)
if (ctlr->chip->max_dma >= ATA_SA150)
ctlr->setmode = ata_sata_setmode;
else
ctlr->setmode = ata_via_family_setmode;
before there was only the else clause.
Finally ata-pci.h has one new definition
#define ATA_NFORCE2_MCP_S 0x008e10de
(i used _S for sata in this case.. )
I realize this isn't packaged well. I'd appreciate any comments on the
patch or how to get it to a point i could use send-pr or have someone
commit it. It would make my life easier. oh, i cvsup'd RELENG_5
yesterday and built the system with it. Thats what the changes were
done on.
Here's some output from atacontrol after i made the changes:

Too fine-grained classification does not make too much sense here nor do I except more than one or two reports in this category. This is why I think it's justified to keep it merged with "docs". > advocacy- Spreading out the word This one is a common dominator and idea behind the status reports. Special advocacy events - such as conference announcement - should probably go to "misc" where everybody will see them. I am not convinced that we need this separately.
