I think I see what the problem is in the atacontrol utility.  It assumes ata
channels start from zero, but that is not the case for my system which
starts from 2.

        if (!strcmp(argv[1], "list") && argc == 2) {
                int maxchannel;
        
                if (ioctl(fd, IOCATAGMAXCHANNEL, &maxchannel) < 0)
                        err(1, "ioctl(IOCATAGMAXCHANNEL)");
                for (channel = 0; channel < maxchannel; channel++)
                        info_print(fd, channel, 1);
                exit(EX_OK);
        }

I edited the for loop to initialise channel to 2 and the output looks more
sane now:

# atacontrol list
ATA channel 2:
    Master: acd0 <LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1653S/CS0T> ATA/ATAPI revision 5
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 3:
    Master:  ad6 <ST3750330AS/SD15> Serial ATA II
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 4:
    Master:  ad8 <ST3750330AS/SD15> Serial ATA II
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 5:
    Master:      no device present
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 6:
    Master:      no device present
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 7:
    Master:      no device present
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 8:
    Master:      no device present
    Slave:       no device present
atacontrol: ioctl(IOCATADEVICES): Device not configured


However, this hasn't fixed hald.  Maybe it is making a similar mistake as
atacontrol?


Thanks,
