To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to get an ICH6 into AHCI mode if the BIOS has set it up in legacy mode. I wrote some code that basically does what lt_hotswap does for SATA devices that worked fine on my ICH6 test machine (a Dell rather than a Thinkpad, but shouldn't matter in this case), but it needs much more polish before it's integratable. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
