Neither FreeBSD 6.1 or 6.2-RC1 installers seem to detect the ATA-CF card = on the bus; although NetBSD was able to be installed on the drive and works = OK. I have tried installing the drive as ata0 master in two different = machines; both times NetBSD is able to boot off the drive -ie the hardware is = working fine - however the FreeBSD insaller does not detect the drive. Fitting the microdrive in a working FreeBSD machine as ata1 master does = not give any further debug info - no dmesg, sysctl seems to log the = attachment as failing, although it is detected by BIOS as ST64022CF.=20 FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 #0: Thu Nov 16 05:12:08 UTC 2006 root@opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 # atacontrol list ATA channel 0: Master: ad0 ATA/ATAPI revision 4 Slave: no device present ATA channel 1: Master: no device present Slave: acd0 <201H> ATA/ATAPI revision 0 NetBSD atactl gives: NetBSD 3.0.1 (GENERIC) #0: Thu Jul 13 23:43:47 UTC 2006 # atactl wd0 identify Model: ST64022CF, Rev: 3.02, Serial #: 4NW03XLS Device type: ATAPI, removable Device capabilities: DMA LBA IORDY operation Command set support: NOP command (enabled) READ BUFFER command (enabled) WRITE BUFFER command (enabled) look-ahead (enabled) write cache (enabled) Power Management feature set (enabled) SMART feature set (enabled) FLUSH CACHE command (enabled) Advanced Power Management feature set (enabled) CFA feature set (enabled) Is there a simple fix to make FreeBSD ata recognize the drive?=20 NB there is a simmilar question about using the same card in a pccard adapter, http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2006-March/061937.html= which appears to have been resolved?
