[smartmontools-support]Problems on FreeBSD 5.2.1-REL with Promise PDC20269

[Dan <da...@ho...>]

Hi, I'm having some problems getting smartctl working on FreeBSD-5.2.1=20

I'm running a kernel version that should be valid (an earlier one on a
different box works fine - and there are no significant differences in =
the
kernel config) but no matter what I try, I get a 'kernel version not
supported' error; is this a generic error, or something I've broken in =
the
kernel config?

There's an IBM disk on the motherboard controller, and two Samsung
Spinpoints on a separate Promise controller:

atapci0: <VIA 82C686A UDMA66 controller> port 0xd800-0xd80f at device =
4.1 on
pci0
atapci1: <Promise PDC20269 UDMA133 controller> port
0x8800-0x880f,0x9000-0x9003,0x9400-0x9407,0x9800-0x9803,0xa000-0xa007 =
mem
0xe0800000-0xe0803fff irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0
ad0: 12949MB <IBM-DJNA-371350> [26310/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66
ad4: 152627MB <SAMSUNG SP1604N> [310101/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100
ad6: 152627MB <SAMSUNG SP1604N> [310101/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA100

SMART is enabled in the motherboard BIOS, but I can't seem to get into =
the
Promise card BIOS (so I'm assuming/hoping support will be automatic...)

same result for ad4 and ad6 (with or without full device path) and with =

I'll try updating the kernel, but is there anything obvious I've missed? =
Any
pointers appreciated
