ICH7 SATA controller on HP nx7400 does not find disc

[Michael Ranner]

Hello!

I have already searched Google and the mailing list archive, and found there 
were some problems with ICH7 SATA in the past months.

I got my brandnew HP nx7400 notebook today and tried to install FreeBSD 
6.1-RELEASE. The kernel shows the SATA controller, but does not recognize the 
SATA disc. IDE CDROM works properly.

The BIOS offers a feature to put the SATA controller in compatibilty mode, but 
I am not very happy with this, because only UDMA33 is available instead of 
SATA150 and SATA300.

Any ideas?
