Hi Dale, *IDEA* Mark said, that the kernel alone is defining, whether to talk AHCI or IDE to the harddisk and there is not a single result here from my experiments, that makes me believe, that Mark is wrong with that... Why not to switch back to IDE in the BIOS, which again makes it possible to boot from USB/DVD since it is used far before the kernel image takes over. When the kernel boots, the chips are "brainwashed" and after that they are "thinking AHCI" instead of IDE.... ? may be an option ? Best regards, mcc
