Hi,
I have installed two new SATA disks I want to run in a software-RAID
1, besides some SCSI disks and an SATA DVD R/W. Once I enable all SATA
ports in the BIOS, booting fails with displaying the messages
'Secondary device added' and 'Secondary device removed' in turn,
indefinitely.
With only two of the SATA ports enabled in the BIOS, I can boot and
even read from the DVD drive, and one of the hard disks is
detected. BIOS detects all SATA devices as ports are enabled.
How can I make use of at least three of the SATA ports at the same
time?
Info:
Debian testing, Asus A8N-SLI

The DVD is on one of the SATA ports currently disabled. I can enable
the other ports and disable the ports that are currently enabled and
get the DVD drive and the other HD (wich is the same type)
listed. Booting with all 4 SATA ports enabled fails. I haven't tried
to access the SATA disk yet.
