:On my system with ICH7 I have to use this, otherwise my SATA ports won't
:show up - AHCI tries probing and fails (some memory range reservation
:error), but NATA never takes over. We certainly should avoid these
:situations. Is there a way to pass attachment to NATA if AHCI can't
:figure it out?
:...
:NATA doesn't attach as AHCI because this chipset doesn't support AHCI (and
:NATA can somehow check for that).
No, but this is my fault because I have those chips listed in the
ahci_attach.c code as being AHCI capable.
Could you do a bit of research and tell me which of these are NOT
actually AHCI-capable ? I'll then remove them from the AHCI driver.
