yes. > this is in case I want to use the AHCI drivers... am I correct? no. my experience is: most bios map to pata when the chipset is not in native mode. you seem to bee lucky, as you have a bios mapping but the kernel still uses SATA_VIA. but i guess your via chipset does not support AHCI. more information you can find here: http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html#via tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
