The following reply was made to PR i386/14799; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Jay Krell" <jay.krell@cornell.edu> To: "Soren Schmidt" <sos@freebsd.dk> Cc: <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG> Subject: Re: i386/14799: Promise Ultra33 doesn't work Date: Tue, 9 Nov 1999 08:46:25 -0800 Thank Soren. I just looked at the head sys/i386/config/LINT vs. the 3.3 LINT. Is the ata controller an option for hard drives in 3.3? It doesn't look like it. The "hack" code is even #if 0'ed in head. (The head LINT still has comments about what I tried being about right. I do I believe have what it describes as well, an Intel PIIX? IDE on the motherboard, though the comment isn't clear if that's the "first" PCI IDE and the Promise is the "second" or otherwise since the Intel is on the motherboard (yeah, I can imagine "motherboard" still can imply "PCI" but I'm pretty clueless at this level.)) - Jay -----Original Message----- From: Soren Schmidt <sos@freebsd.dk> To: jay.krell@cornell.edu <jay.krell@cornell.edu> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Tuesday, November 09, 1999 8:08 AM Subject: Re: i386/14799: Promise Ultra33 doesn't work >It seems jay.krell@cornell.edu wrote: >> Promise Ultra33 IDE cards do not work. The source appears to have support for them, the PCI probe finds them, but they do not end up working. I fiddled considerable with the configuration and building the kernel. I've looked at the source, but it is unintelligable. Carl Mascott, cmascott@world.std.com, had a similar experience as me; he ended up returning the card.
