.Sh NAME

.Nd AMD, NVIDIA and VIA IDE disk controllers driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "viaide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000"
|
|
.Cd "options PCIIDE_AMD756_ENABLEDMA"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the following IDE controllers
|
|
and provides the interface with the hardware for the
|
|
.Ic ata
|
|
driver:
|
|
.Bl -dash -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
Advanced Micro Devices AMD-756, 766, 768 and CS5536 IDE Controllers
|
|
.It
|
|
NVIDIA nForce, nForce2, nForce2 400, nForce3, nForce3 250,
|
|
nForce4, MCP04, MCP55, MCP61 and MCP65 IDE and SATA Controllers.
|
|
.It
|
|
VIA Technologies VT82C586, VT82C586A, VT82C596A, VT82C686A, VT8233A,
|
|
VT8235, VT8237/VT8237R IDE Controllers, and VT6421 Serial RAID Controller.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The 0x0002 flag forces the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be
|
|
enabled.
|
|
This can be used as a debugging aid, or to work around
|
|
problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

.Sh NOTES
|
|
Drives on the VT6421 Serial RAID Controller can only be accessed
|
|
after they have been configured into RAID or JBOD sets via its
|
|
BIOS.
|
|
It is also inaptly named as it has both SATA and PATA interfaces.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The AMD756 chip revision D2 has a bug affecting DMA (but not Ultra-DMA)
|
|
modes.
|
|
The workaround documented by AMD is to not use DMA on any drive which
|
|
does not support Ultra-DMA modes.
|
|
This does not appear to be necessary on all drives, the
|
|
PCIIDE_AMD756_ENABLEDMA option can be used to force multiword DMA
|
|
on the buggy revisions.
|
|
Multiword DMA can eventually be disabled on a
|
|
per-drive basis with config flags, see
|
|
.Xr wd 4 .
|
|
The bug, if triggered, will cause a total system hang.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The timings used for the PIO and DMA modes for controllers listed above
|
|
are for a PCI bus running at 30 or 33 MHz.
|
|
This driver may not work properly on overclocked systems.
