Unfortunately, it seems to not be supported FreeBSD 7: ata7: <ATA channel 5> on atapci0 ata7: SATA ATAPI devices not supported yet ata7: [ITHREAD] I am using software (BIOS) RAID on a P5K-E/WiFi (Intel P35 chipset) board. Sadly, the option to manually configure the DVD drive is only available when in IDE mode. In the interim, is it possible to force the drive to IDE (really UDMA) mode? I tried a few attempts at the kernel source to force it to UDMA33 at the point of the warning in ata-chipset.c, but these resulted in panics. On a related note, I wrote a tiny patch[1] to add ICH9R detection. Functionally, this does not change anything since the board was being detected as ICH8 which has the same functionality (SATA300). I sent this to Søren, but I think he is probably busy at this time. Sean 1. http://www.farley.org/freebsd/tmp/ata-chipset.c.diff -- sean@farley.org --56599777-2066053823-1193264567=:39560--
