It runs with a Promise FastTrak100 TX2 wi= th 2 IBM 60GXP 40Gb at UDMA100 and one IBM 60GXP 40Gb at UDMA33 connected to t= he onboard primary IDE. The onboard controller is a: atapci0: port 0xff00-0xff0f at device 2.5 on pc= i0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 and, as stated in ata(4) manpage: The currently supported controllers with their maximum speed include: [...] SiS 5591 Ultra DMA 33 (UDMA2), 33 MB/sec The hd is connected to the IDE port with an UDMA100 80pin cable. Since this hd is only used for backup purposes, I don't bother getting higher bus spee= d. The Promise RAID controller runs just fine: atapci1: port 0xcc00-0xcc0f,0xd000-0xd003,0= xd400-0xd407,0xd800-0xd803,0xdc00-0xdc07 mem 0xcfff0000-0xcfffffff irq 11 a= t device 9.0 on pci0 [...] ar0: 39100MB [4984/255/63] subdisks: ad4: 39266MB [79780/16/63] at ata2-master tagged UDMA1= 00 ad6: 39266MB [79780/16/63] at ata3-master tagged UDMA1= 00 I set the BIOS option 'Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA' to Disabled since it would share the same IRQ as the Promise one. I'm currently trying to install a system monitor deamon, but I'm facing pro= blem with the onboard hardware monitor ITE8705. Which program support this senso= r? I tried healthd, but it didn't work. Finally, if you buy this motherboard, pay attention to the ATX power supply. I couldn't get 'shutdown -p now' to work, even if APM is compiled into the kernel, apm -s returns 1 and zzz put the system to sleep (i.e. the software is properly configured). Conclusion: this motherboard is cheap and stable and, more important, does not suffer the data corruption problem of the VIA KTxxx chipsets. I like it.
