| Same here. The  ata_ht1000.patch referenced in this thread
| works, in my case at least with 1 controller running in
| SATA150 mode (I have only 1 disk).
| 
| However, the recent 7.1-BETA2 does not work for me, contrary
| to reports saying that this BETA contains the patch. Looking
| at the sources, it seems evident that the patch applied is
| not identical to the ata_ht1000.patch in this thread.
| 
| This patch:
| http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/ata_ht1000.patch
| is the only requirement to turn a broken 7.1-BETA1 into a
| working 7.1 for a Dell PowerEdge SC1435.
| 
| The recent 7.1-BETA2, does not work!

Hi,

I've been tracking the 7.1 release page but so far I haven't
seen any update lately ... any news on when a new BETA/RC
will be out for testing?
