So far so good! The image I built yesterday on the Lexar that could not mount its root partition seems to be working just fine now! I can also boot a RELENG_6 kernel, with the driver patches that phk has committed to FreeBSD current http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-chipset.c.diff?r1=1.199;r2=1.200;sortby=date and I can boot FreeBSD Current now on the Lexar flash where as that didnt work before. The only mystery remaining is that FreeBSD 6.x sees this flash as ad1, but FreeBSD current sees it as ad0. Its not a big deal, but it can be a headache as there does not seem to be any consistency. However, this last bit is perhaps more of a FreeBSD thing. ad0: 489MB <LEXAR ATA FLASH V1.02> at ata0-slave PIO4 ata0: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0 ata0: [ITHREAD] ata1: <ATA channel 1> on atapci0 ata1: [ITHREAD] ad0: 489MB <LEXAR ATA FLASH V1.02> at ata0-slave PIO4 ---Mike >Best Regards, > > >Soren Kristensen > >CEO & Chief Engineer >Soekris Engineering, Inc. > >_______________________________________________ >Soekris-tech mailing list >Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com >http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
