SiI 3124 SATA300 controller PM port error

Hi,

I have been recommended the Sil 3124 eSATA card for FreeBSD 8.0 but we´ve just put it in and attempted to attach via a single cable to a 2 disk JBOD enclosure and we recieve this error and see no disks:

Code: 
ata2: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0
ata2: Port Multiplier (id=57441095 rev=2106) with 3 ports
ata2: error reading PM port
ata2: error reading PM port
The server is running 8.0-RELEASE-p2. In the same thread I was recommended to use STABLE, we currently use RELEASE on all production servers. Is there anything I can do regarding this? Is it a bug? Is it the JBOD enclosure? I could upgrade this server if its likely to solve the problem but would prefer to stay on RELEASE.

thanks for any help! Andy.
 
Solved

Hi list,

ok my mistake, it detected the HBA straight off so I made the mistaken assumption that it was just gona work from there. But actually I needed to load the siis driver, which Ive now done via the loader.conf and I can see my disks :)

thanks Andy.
