Description Peter Elsner 2001-09-06 22:20:02 UTC

My boss is trying (against my better judgement) to get the Promise Technologies FastTrak100 Ultra ATA/100 RAID Card set up, (an inexpensive RAID solution for one or our customers).   

According to the 4.2 Release notes, that particular card is now supported with the ata(4) driver.

The ata(4) driver now has support for tagged queueing, which is
enabled by the ATA_ENABLE_TAGS option.  It also supports the
ServerWorks ROSB4 ATA33 chipset, the CMD 648 ATA66 and CMD 649 ATA100
chipsets, and the Cyrix 5530.  It also has support for ATA "pseudo"
RAID controllers, including the Promise Fasttrak and HighPoint HPT370
controllers.

So I went into /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT and sure enough, the option for ATA_ENABLE_TAGS is included.  I then opened up the GENERIC kernel file and added options ATA_ENABLE_TAGS (right under options ATA_STATIC_ID).  

Saved the file and typed: config GENERIC
Got back: GENERIC:80: unknown option "ATA_ENABLE_TAGS"

I have been told (and have read), that if the options are contained in LINT, then they should be supported.  

Am I just missing something or have I stumbled onto a small bug?

Thanks.

How-To-Repeat: Add options     ATA_ENABLE_TAGS to the kernel file and type config KERNELNAME.

I cant find the ATA_ENABLE_TAGS in LINT from 4.3-RELEASE, so I think you
have versions mixed up somehow. Anyhow from 4.3 its a tunable setable
from the loader (see man ata).
Another thing is that unless you use the newer Promise TX2 line of
controllers and FreeBSD 4.4, tagged queing wont work (the older
Promise controllers doesn't grok tags).

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Seems to be version mixup.
