Subject: Does FreeBSD suffer from the Intel RZ1000 IDE bug?

I've read that Intel have a bug in their RZ1000 controller chip
found on some of their PCI motherboards (and guess what motherboard
I have 8-)

The full details are given under:

http://www.intel.com/procs/support/rz1000/index.html

Linux is listed as being affected and I was wondering if FreeBSD
was as well or if a fixed driver is available and from what version
of FreeBSD is it in?

As a workaround I am turning off use of IDE Pre-fetch buffers
in my BIOS setup (as recommended by Intel).

Thanks,

Richard Hesketh
