sounds right but it isn't.

Look at e the code from /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-chpset.c

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    if (pci_get_devid(dev) == ATA_VIA82C571) {
	if (!(idx = ata_find_chip(dev, ids, -99))) 
	    return ENXIO;
    }
    else {
	if (!(idx = ata_match_chip(dev, new_ids))) 
	    return ENXIO;
    }
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

new_ids doesn't have an id for ATA_VIA8237A (ata-pci.h defines ATA_VIA8237A as 
0x0591, which is not what my mobo gives out !) .

Besides, the VIA8237A SATA150 controllers ids itself as 0x5337, which is not 
even in the data base at http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=1106

So I added a new id to ata-pci.h:
#define ATA_VIA8237AS  0x53371106

and added this line to ata-chipset.c:
{ ATA_VIA8237AS,  0x00, 7,      0x00,    ATA_SA150, "8237A" },

now, all my controllers get properly identified and work !.

my mobo is an ASUS P5VD2-X.

DEFINETLY ( at least for the mobo I have at home), the ids ARE:

5337 is for VT8237A SATA150
0571 is for VT8237A Bus Master IDE
016a is for jmicron SATA300

And these ids are confirmed by the XP drivers downloade from ASUS!

Either ASUS played around with ids in this mobo or the database is screwed up.
