The ATA driver was changed in 5.x, and then again in 6-CURRENT. If
you want to run 5.x on that system, your going to need to install FBSD
4.11 first, then do a source upgrade to 5.x. But you'll also need to
replace the 5.x ATAng driver with the 6.x ATA-Mk III driver.
You'll need:
The RELENG_5 Sources
ATA MKiiin Sources & Patch files
- http://people.freebsd.org/~sos/ATA/ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz
- http://people.freebsd.org/~sos/ATA/ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz
Then:
- remove contents of /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/*
- untar ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz in to /usr/src/
- appy the ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz patch to /usr/src
- do usual build[world/kernel]
- do an installkernel, and reboot the system
- if it works, then installworld, otherwise let Soren Schmidt
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> know.
Hurray! Finally! I may be stupid, but I've been trying to figure out
how to install Soren's kit for a month or two, now. (Well not every
day for two months. I've got other things that _must_be_done_.)
It's not a standard patch set. And I didn't have a clue how to
approach the problem. I mean, handed a random set of tar files, and
figure out where they go? for a supposedly stable system?
