I've got an Asus P5E3WSPro with 8 SATA ports and 8 disks attached. 6 disks are on one controller (and work perfectly) and 2 are on a second Marvell controller. FreeBSD sees the controller, but not the disks. If I move a working disk to the Marvell controller I can boot off it up to the stage of mounting root where it fails to see the disk.
atacontrol shows: ATA channel 2: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 3: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 4: Master: ad8 <WDC WD10EACS-00ZJB0/01.01B01> Serial ATA II Slave: no device present ATA channel 5: Master: ad10 <WDC WD10EACS-00ZJB0/01.01B01> Serial ATA II Slave: no device present ATA channel 6: Master: ad12 <WDC WD10EACS-00ZJB0/01.01B01> Serial ATA II Slave: no device present ATA channel 7: Master: ad14 <WDC WD10EACS-00ZJB0/01.01B01> Serial ATA II Slave: no device present ATA channel 8: Master: ad16 <WDC WD10EACS-00ZJB0/01.01B01> Serial ATA II Slave: no device present ATA channel 9: Master: ad18 <WDC WD10EACS-00ZJB0/01.01B01> Serial ATA II Slave: no device present Here's the pciconf listing: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:31:2: class=0x010601 card=0x82771043 chip=0x29228086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801IB/IR/IH (ICH9 Family) 6 port SATA AHCI Controller' class = mass storage -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:0:0: class=0x01048f card=0x82201043 chip=0x614511ab rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Ltd)' device = '?
