But isn't AHCI a new standard intel helped develop? Why would they want to make it hard to use intel hardware using a standard interface intel helped create? It makes no sense. Linux doesn't care if the sata is set to the old PATA compatible interface, or the new AHCI mode. Windows simply can't boot in AHCI mode and refuses to install a driver for AHCI mode when it is not already in AHCI mode. -- Len Sorensen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
