>Description:
Have Gigabyte 965QM-DS2 ver 2.x motherboard with new Western Digital <WDC WD1000FYPS-01ZKB0 02.01B01>, capacity  1TB. 

Controller present himself as:
atapci0: <Intel ATA controller> port 0xa000-0xa007,0xa400-0xa403,0xa800-0xa807,0xac00-0xac03,0xb000-0xb00f irq 18 at device 3.2 on pci0
atapci0: [ITHREAD]
atapci1: <JMicron JMB363 SATA300 controller> irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci2
atapci1: [ITHREAD]
atapci1: AHCI called from vendor specific driver
atapci1: AHCI Version 01.00 controller with 2 ports detected
atapci2: <Intel AHCI controller> port 0xd400-0xd407,0xd800-0xd803,0xdc00-0xdc07,0xe000-0xe003,0xe400-0xe41f mem 0xf0225000-0xf02257ff irq 19 at device 31.2 on pci0
atapci2: [ITHREAD]
atapci2: AHCI Version 01.10 controller with 6 ports detected


Have detected 1TB drive as 31Mb drive:
ad16: 31MB <WDC WD1000FYPS-01ZKB0 02.01B01> at ata8-master SATA300

Manual setting of correct number of cyl/hd/sectors with fdisk not successfull - I can label slice with ~950Gb size (or 10Gb - does not matter), but usable size no more that ~31Mb. Changing BIOS parameters (and turning off disk in BIOS), changing AHCI on/off etc with no luck.

Please note that semi-fresh linux (ubuntu ?) detects and works with this disk on this motherboard. Also, FreeBSD 7.0REL detects this drive well on older motherboard with ICH7.
>How-To-Repeat:
You can use motherboard  Gigabyte 965QM-DS2 or similar and WDC WD1000FYPS drive with 6.x or 7.x FreeBSD.
>Fix:
none known for me.
