Exactly which kernel are you booting under vmware?  The latest kernels
from sources have a fix for this (at least 9pcf does - I just checked).
Have you copied the new kernel to the place it's being loaded from
(probably /n/9fat on the virtual disk)?

fair enough.  and as soon as one completed the hardware, and shipped
it, one would find that it was buggy and be unable to patch it, as it
was in hardware :)

I'm still having the same two problems after pulling geoff's updates:

in vmware ( fusion ) i get the "aux/vga: vgactlw: <linear 0x3e80000
0x0>: unknown vmware id 0740

error, and on my physical machine, my sata disks are still not showing
up

... even though all of these things work during installation from the
cd. ( i'm using a cd from a couple of days ago )

to the best of my knowledge, no one has ever built a bit
of hardware that does all the things raid needs to do in
hardware.  i don't think anyone has even implemented the
entire hot path in hardware.  there's always a processor and
firmware.  the only argument is where it runs.

would this be in the updates from this morning?  i've just pulled
everything and rebooted, but i still only see sdC0 and sdD0...

geoff has probablly fixed things for you today.  this line from sdata.c
added recently should support your nvidia controller
		case (0x00E3<<16)|0x10DE:	/* nVidia nForce2 250 SATA */
thanks, geoff.

i've got no idea about your 3ware controller.  from the
subclass code, it's a custom interface.

when running from the CD, my sata drives are detected and I can
install onto them.  when i try to boot from one of them, it can't find
the drive.

if i install onto an ata drive, i can boot, but sdE and sdF don't show
up in /dev

is this a case of the cd kernel being out of sync from the installed
one?
