Hey. I'm having some trouble getting my promise fasttrak tx4200 (PDC20619) to work on FreeBSD 5.3. It wont show up on dmesg or when i use atacontrol list. when i use pciconf -lv it give me this. none9@pci1:8:0: class=0x010400 card=0x3519105a chip=0x3519105a rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Promise Technology Inc' class = mass storage subclass = RAID I have asked around and tried to get info from freebsd.org and google.com, but i cant seem to find any good info. the people i have talked to said to add "device ataraid" to the kernel so i did but it didn't help. So any tips and hints would be grateful.
Hello Fredrik, I think you are out of luck at the moment. The Linux driver is a binary/source hybrid which isn't usually a good sign.

Not sure if this is very useful, but here is what I see for a TX2000: $ pciconv -lv atapci1@pci0:20:0: class=0x010485 card=0x4d68105a chip=0x6269105a rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Promise Technology Inc' device = 'PDC20271 FastTrak TX2000 EIDE controller' class = mass storage subclass = RAID $ dmesg atapci1: <Promise PDC20271 UDMA133 controller> port 0xec00-0xec0f,0xe800-0xe803,0xe400-0xe407,0xe000-0xe003,0xdc00-0xdc07 mem 0xd9000000-0xd900ffff irq 11 at device 20.0 on pci0 ata2: channel #0 on atapci1 ata3: channel #1 on atapci1 regards Mark

Not sure when the support will be finished though. (This goes for FastTrak 579 and TX2200 also) Regards, Frode
