rr232x on amd64: fail to start channel

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a PC with an rr2320 SATA RAID controller in it. It's
running on an Athlon 64, with FreeBSD cvsupped to RELENG_6 on amd64. On
startup, it sees the controller, but gives "fail to start channel" messages
for each channel that has a disk attached.

>From dmesg | grep rr232x:

rr232x: RocketRAID 232x controller driver v1.02 (May  4 2006 06:15:08)
rr232x0: <sx508x> port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem 0xd1000000-0xd10fffff irq 11 at
device 4.0 on pci3
rr232x: adapter at PCI 3:4:0, IRQ 11
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (amr_linux, 0xffffffff806204f0, 0) error 6
rr232x: start channel [0,0]
rr232x: start channel [0,1]
rr232x: start channel [0,2]
rr232x: start channel [0,3]
rr232x: fail to start channel [0,0]
rr232x: fail to start channel [0,1]
rr232x: fail to start channel [0,2]
rr232x: fail to start channel [0,3]
rr232x0: [GIANT-LOCKED]

Any ideas? A client of mine bought the hardware, and is insistent that we
try to use it. It works under Windows, so I'm pretty sure it's not a
hardware problem. I'd like to avoid having to run Windows on the server if
at all possible.

Thanks,
Herbert.
