The following reply was made to PR amd64/135040; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Ralf Folkerts <ralf.folkerts@gmx.de> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, ralf.folkerts@gmx.de, Alexander Motin <mav@FreeBSD.org> Cc: Subject: Re: amd64/135040: FreeBSD/amd64 does not (always) detect disk on SB600/AliveXFire eSata 2 Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2009 19:46:30 +0200 Hi, just a short Update on this: - Commenting out the two last lines of ata_ahca_dmainit (and also the definition of ctlr; the Compiler wasn't amused on unused local Variables) in ata-chipset.c does seem to correctly circumvent the Problem; I was able to boot w/o the "hw.physmem" Parameter and a buildworld/-kernel and install of both worked fine. - ASRock sent me a new BIOS; however, that made FreeBSD (and Linux) only "see" 3.5G of the installed 4G RAM. ASRock stated that more memory is only supported for Windows_64. Of course there were no DMA issues with only 3.5G visible. - Wasn't able yet to get more Info re. the BIOS-Patch that was applied by ASUS :-( Still trying. Cheers, _ralf_
