I have no solution for you but some search results http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=4752 http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/Atapiscsi-problem-on-VIA-NAB7100-VIA-VT6420-td184350.html http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/Second-SATA-channel-in-Via-VT3237S-td191011.html Reduce your search to something like *wdc_atapi_intr: warning: reading only* and, you will get more results. I haven't looked at the pic but as you wrote, that you installed linux, look at the reported chipset / or the documentation of the hardware. > > Any help will be appreciated. > > Thank you! > > Gabriele Tozzi
