Subject:   Promise Ultra100 TX2 support broken?

Hi.

I have a Promise Ultra100 TX2 card with 2 brand new Maxtor drives. The 
setup should work in UDMA100 mode, but is downgraded to PIO mode 4 under 
FreeBSD 5.1 and 4.8.
Hardware is definitely OK, I have 2 controllers, 6 different 80 wire IDE 
cables, shielded and unshielded and no irq conflicts. Always the same 
problem. Disks work perfectly on an onboard VIA controller.
The Promise BIOS is the latest. NetBSD also downgrades to PIO mode 4, in 
an i386 and an alpha. Maybe some registers not setup correctly by the 
driver(s)?

dmesg excerpt:

[...]

Help would be greatly appreciated!
