Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been using FreeBSD since 3.2-stable. Most of that time, I've been using a combination of an AHA-1542 and a DTC serial/IDE for disk controllers with no real problems. While using the aforementioned setup, I occasionally got the bright idea to use my Buslogic BT-510 caching IDE controller, usually with no success. Warp to this summer. I got a neato pentium board with PCI! and a fluky onboard IDE. So I try my old trusty (in other OS'es) BT-510 with my usual level of success. But this time, the annoying thing is that it finds the jumpered-off PIIX controller on the mobo rather than the BT-510?! I traded off my AHA-1542 for a Buslogic flashpoint LT, figuring it's just a matter of adding device bt, right? Not even close. It gets spotted as pci0: (vendor 0x104b, dev=0x8130) at 20.0 irq9 and bt0 never shows up in dmesg at all. I've recompiled the kernel twice: once with the device bt line and once with the line device bt0 at isa? port? irq ? with little difference on the outcome The questions are: 1) is there ANY chance that my BT-510 is usable in FreeBSD? 2) how do I get my flashpoint to work? -- Customer: "I'm running Windows '98" Tech: "Yes."
