Hi,

Since I kinda needed a stable system, I switched to MSI K9N6GM,
that has NVIDIA MCP61 chipset.

It doesn't at all support AHCI (not that I can tell), but IDE access for SATA
is supported in DMA mode (UDMA5).

nfe interface also seems to be working.

I get 70-80 MBps according to 'dd' (iostat only shows 32MBps)

What is the good rate that can actually be achieved on 3Gbps drives?

And I still get those "no compatible PCI ICU found" and
"unable to fix up PCI interrupts routing" messages...
It was suggested that these messages can be ignored...

I couldn't find a way to switch it into DMA mode...

Well, I was mostly venting here, it's great current supports all this
better, but I'd like some peace for this box :)
