ataraid and 9.0 RC-2

[b. f.]

> I just ran freebsd-update to get up to 9.0-RC2 and discovered that ataraid does not work.  I realize I'm an edge case and my scenario is not ideal (I use an ITE controller and performance is actually impressively slow), but I cannot boot 9.0 from my stripe, even after manually loading ataraid from the loader prompt (after running an unload command).  I mention it mostly because other people using the fakeraid setup by their motherboards for whatever reason (perhaps to share a partition table with window

I haven't looked too much into it (these devices are actually PATA not SATA, so AHCI doesn't even exist for these), but maybe there's an ATA/AHCI driver that's built into the default kernelthat is interfering with ataraid.ko?  Maybe this interferes with my stupidly slow and unpopular configuration.

ataraid(4) has been deprecated, since it does not work with the new
default kernel option ATA_CAM, and some other devices. graid(8) is
intended to replace it:
