ata and seagate microdrive problems

[Nenhum_de_Nos]

hail,

I'm trying to install current on via itx using ide 44pin to cf adapter and
a seagate 8GB microdrive.

I thought it was to be ok, but just today when I received the adapter I
got nowhere in this. I tried 7.1-STABLE and 8.0-CURRENT from 200902, and
both fail to find it. the same thing in 7.1R.

I found this http://forums.freebsd.org/archive/index.php/t-2733.html, but
hw.ata.ata_dma_check_80pin=0 is no good :(

and found this pr
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2007-March/022884.html as
the only pr that mentions microdrive (I may be wrong).

is there anything I can do ? is there a plan to change this ?

If I buy an alix 2d3 and try to use this MD will it have the same problem ?

I tried the same adapter and sandisk 128MB cf card, no problem.

thanks,

matheus
