Hello Uwe, I am having problems to access a hard drive connected to a SIS180 SATA-RAID controller. The controller is located on my mainboard (Elitegroup KV2 extreme). There is only one hard disk drive connected to the PATA port od the controller. Both SATA ports are empty. The BIOS of the controller recognizes the disk and while running Microsoft Windows I can access the disk. dmesg-output looks like this (kernel 2.6.19): sata_sis 0000:00:07.0: version 0.6 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:07.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 sata_sis 0000:00:07.0: Detected SiS 180/181 chipset in combined mode ata9: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xFF00 ctl 0xFE02 bmdma 0xFB00 irq 16 ata10: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xFD00 ctl 0xFC02 bmdma 0xFB08 irq 16 scsi15 : sata_sis PM: Adding info for No Bus:host15 ata9: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) scsi16 : sata_sis PM: Adding info for No Bus:host16 ata10: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xFD07 I do not know the SIS180 chipset. Probably it is a fake-RAID but I do not know if the PATA port is just a SATA-PATA birdge hardwired on the mainboard or if it is a seperate port. Maybe you have an idea? Sven
