sounds right but it isn't.

Look at e the code from /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-chpset.c

=2D-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    if (pci_get_devid(dev) =3D=3D ATA_VIA82C571) {
	if (!(idx =3D ata_find_chip(dev, ids, -99)))=20
	    return ENXIO;
    }
    else {
	if (!(idx =3D ata_match_chip(dev, new_ids)))=20
	    return ENXIO;
    }
=2D-------------------------------------------------------------------------

new_ids doesn't have an id for ATA_VIA8237A (ata-pci.h defines ATA_VIA8237A=
 as=20
0x0591, which is not what my mobo gives out !) .

Besides, the VIA8237A SATA150 controllers ids itself as 0x5337, which is no=
t=20
even in the data base at http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=3D1106

So I added a new id to ata-pci.h:
#define ATA_VIA8237AS  0x53371106

and added this line to ata-chipset.c:
{ ATA_VIA8237AS,  0x00, 7,      0x00,    ATA_SA150, "8237A" },

now, all my controllers get properly identified and work !.

my mobo is an ASUS P5VD2-X.

DEFINETLY ( at least for the mobo I have at home), the ids ARE:

5337 is for VT8237A SATA150
0571 is for VT8237A Bus Master IDE
016a is for=A0jmicron SATA300

And these ids are confirmed by the XP drivers downloade from ASUS!

Either ASUS played around with ids in this mobo or the database is screwed =
up.
