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...

mostly venting here, it's great current supports all this better, but I'd like some peace for this box :) OpenBSD 4.2 (GENERIC.MP) #252: Tue Aug 28 10:53:04 MDT 2007 [EMAIL
