This is probably what you want. AHCI is supposed to be chipset agnostic. > I also have an option called "Sate IDE combined mode" See if there's anything in the docs about what this actually does. You might need it to use the PATA port, but it could be what's messing things up. If you can't use the cdrom, maybe install from a thumb drive or usb crdrom. (My ASUS M2N-LR board refuses to boot from a thumb drive. Likewise with a friend's Supermicro Intel board. Both work fine from a usb cdrom.) > I think this may be my problem...i had this enabled, because i thought i > needed it in order to use both sata and ide....i think now it's something > else. I think so. It makes the first 4 ports look like IDE drives (two channels, two drives per channel) and the remaining BIOS RAID or AHCI. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
