lost devices in 8.3

[Daniel Braniss]

hi,
I'm trying to upgrade this old opteron box, which is running 8.2, but
when booting 8.3 the disks disappear.

with 8.2:
...
atapci1 at pci0:0:7:1:     class=0x01018a card=0x74691022 chip=0x74691022 
rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)'
    device     = 'UltraATA/133 Controller (AMD-8111)'
    class      = mass storage
    subclass   = ATA
...
atapci0 at pci0:3:5:0:     class=0x010400 card=0x61141095 chip=0x31141095 
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Silicon Image Inc (Was: CMD Technology Inc)'
    device     = 'SATALink/SATARaid Controller (Sil 3114)'
    class      = mass storage
    subclass   = RAID

but none on 8.3:
none0 at pci0:0:7:1:       class=0x01018a card=0x74691022 chip=0x74691022 
rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)'
    device     = 'UltraATA/133 Controller (AMD-8111)'
    class      = mass storage
    subclass   = ATA
...
none3 at pci0:3:5:0:       class=0x018000 card=0x31141095 chip=0x31141095 
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Silicon Image Inc (Was: CMD Technology Inc)'
    device     = 'SATALink/SATARaid Controller (Sil 3114)'
    class      = mass storage

and the only diff in the configuration is that 8.3 has:
options 	ATA_CAM
nodevice		ata
nodevice		atadisk		# ATA disk drives
nodevice		ataraid		# ATA RAID drives
nodevice		atapicd		# ATAPI CDROM drives
nodevice		atapifd		# ATAPI floppy drives
nodevice		atapist		# ATAPI tape drives

cheers,
