It does work on the vast majority of machines it has been tested on FWIW. We may be able to blacklist it using ACPI quirks for certain known-bad motherboard / BIOS combinations however. > TIA, > Florian > > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: [regression] 8.0-CURRENT amd64: SATA disks not attaching, > MCP55 controller > Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2009 20:21:56 +0200 > From: Sticky Bit <stickybit@gmx.net> > Reply-To: stickybit@gmx.net > To: Florian Smeets <flo@kasimir.com> > CC: freebsd-current@freebsd.org, freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org > > On Thu August 6 2009 09:28:58 Florian Smeets wrote: > > > i had the same problem with MCP55 on amd64, i tried the new ahci module > > but to no avail. > > > > However if you set hw.pci.mcfg=0 the disks are found by the normal ata > > Thanks for the hint! > > I tried it again with 'set hw.pci.mcfg=0' from boot loader prompt and > now it > actually finds and attaches the disks as usual. > > But I do not know if I need 'support for PCI-e memory mapped config > access', > where it is needed and if it can cause problems later with an RELENG_8 > installation if it is disabled like in RELENG_7. > > I only have one PCIe device, a PCIe graphics card, which is working well > with > drm.ko / radeon.ko modules and radeonhd driver under RELENG_7. > > Is it safe to stay with 'hw.pci.mcfg=0' under RELENG_8 for the future? > > And if so, should the default setting be changed from enabled to > disabled for > 8.0-RELEASE if it is not yet mature enough and the cause of problems?

Is manual user action still required? Or do we automatically blacklist this hardware? -- Andriy Gapon I did try to upgrade to 8.1 some weeks ago on another computer with the
same motherboard, and had a problem again, many disks were not found,
but this is different. The disks show up in boot, but the partitions
are not there, and I seemed to have problems with 2T disks only. I was
busy at the time so I did not investigate further, just dropped back to
7.x. What I did gather was:
- Only 2T disks exhibit the problem in this case, other disks seemed to
work properly. Note that this is different computer from the one in my
original PR, but same motherboard.
- The raw devices are there and are readable by dd (adxx device)
- Slices and partitions do not appear in /dev, only adxx device, no
slice devices or bsdlabel partitions.
- All these disks have been initialized similarly, ie. fdisk -B -I adxx;
bsdlabel -w -B adxxs1; bsdlabel -e adxxs1. All the disks have been
added after sysinstall, when expanding the system. If I boot on
7.3-stable or 7.3R all partitions are found, but not on 8.x.
I would also note that 2T disks not working may have a connection to my
other PR, about gmirrors disappearing after boot on 7.x. This also only
happens on 2T disks, but not on smaller ones. I have not been able to
test gmirrors on 8.x for above reasons.
I do have an older Asus motherboard with Athlon cpu, and it does not
exhibit this problem, so this might be motherboard dependent. However,
it is puzzling that the symtoms are different from 8.0 and 8.1.
I have been dropping back to 7.x on most computers for other reasons, so
this is not urgent for me, but I can test booting from DVD on 8.1R and
gather a bit more information, if that would help. Please give me some
guidance what you would like to see in terms of logs and boot options.

Hmm, I think it should be a good idea to report this to geom@ mailing list.
The more eyes looking at this the better - the people on the mailing list may have
some ideas and suggestion.
Also, a diff between verbose boot dmesg produced by 7.x and 8.1 could be enlightening.
