I installed a CMD649 based IDE controller in an AS200-233 with FreeBSD
4.2-RELEASE, but I could not make it work. It is a bus master ultra dma IDE
controller and is supported by the Intel port.

These are the messages I get from dmesg:

atapci0: <CMD 649 ATA100 controller> irq 15 at device 13.0 on pci0
atapci0: Busmastering DMA not supported

Besides it there are no messages about any ATA devices on this bus, even
with a IDE disk connected to the controller. Everything else seems to be
working. I booted NETBSD from the installation floppy and it prints the same
message plus something as: "cannot map primary IDE register" and "cannot map
secondary IDE register".

Does anybody have such a beast working in an Alpha?

Does anybody know another IDE controller (such as the Promise Fasttrak) that
actually works? IDE disks are much less expensive and even if they are not
incredible performers the AS200 is not either.

Thank you in advance,
Sergio Jachtchenco
