My mainbord is dying, so I plan to replace it during this weekend. Originally the installation of the OS (Arch of course) was performed with my sata HD in "legacy ATA mode" set in the BIOS. I'm thinking this time to use native AHCI mode for the hard disks - no real need, I'm just curious. Apart from the other issues related to a "motherboard transplant" I'm already familiar with, do you think that changing the hard drive mode will give me particular troubles? IIRC, the ahci kernel module is normally loaded alongside the others "ata/pata related", so maybe a simple rebuild of the ramdisk is all that I need. Roberto
i don't think that you'll have problems. i did that multiple times, but if you do, is a matter of regenerating initrd images using the livecd
