Eureka!

I managed to narrow the gap to the commit responsible for the symptoms
I've reported:

imp         2004-11-10 00:41:39 UTC

  FreeBSD src repository

  Modified files:
    sys/dev/pci          pci.c 
  Log:
  Make pci_do_powerstate default to 1 now that we've done the release to
  get more testing.  This should help things a little.
  
  Revision  Changes    Path
  1.268     +2 -2      src/sys/dev/pci/pci.c

Diff: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/pci/pci.c.diff?r1=1.267&r2=1.268&f=h

In pci.c one can read:
 enable these bits correctly.  We'd like to do this all the time, but
there are some peripherals that this causes problems with.");
Well, I guess it's the case with this controller ;)

I tried setting this ( hw.pci.do_powerstate ) tunable to 0 and voilá,
6.0 BETA 4 #2 booted with the amr installed.

Still on pci.c one can also read:
 "Power down devices into D3 state when no driver attaches to them.
 Otherwise, leave the device in D0 state when no driver attaches."
This controller just so happens to have a device that FreeBSD doesn't
have support:
kernel: pci2: <mass storage, SCSI> at device 1.0 (no driver attached)
Looking at pciconf -l -v :
pcib3 at pci2:0:0: class=0x060400 card=0x000000dc chip=0xb1548086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x01
    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    device   = 'S21152BA,S21154AE/BE PCI to PCI Bridge'
    class    = bridge
    subclass = PCI-PCI
none1 at pci2:1:0: class=0x010000 card=0x8493101e chip=0x12161077 rev=0x06 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'QLogic Corporation'
    device   = 'ISP12160 Dual Channel Ultra3 SCSI Processor'
    class    = mass storage
    subclass = SCSI
amr0 at pci3:0:0:  class=0x010400 card=0x04931028 chip=0x1960101e rev=0x20 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'American Megatrends Inc.'
    device   = '80960RP i960RP Microprocessor'
    class    = mass storage
    subclass = RAID
So, by not attaching a driver to pci2:1:0, the pci2:0:0 is disabled.
Although the 'real' amr is assigned to pci3, the pci bridge on
pci2:0:0 gets disabled thus killing the amr.

I believe a workaround for this issue would be verifying before
disabling the device, that no more that one device shares that
particular pci slot.

Comments?
