Tejun, I am reffering to the post on your hompage (http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Libata-tj-stable) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Again, Sil4726 doesn't like ahci driver initialization sequence. During driver initialization, the whole controller is reset and the PHY goes offline and comes back. Sil4726 doesn't like it and goes out for lunch for several secs after that which makes initial probing think that the port is empty. After probing is complete, Sil4726 comes back and gets detected but at that point detection is asynchronous and if boot device is on one of fan-out ports, it can be a problem. Again, this might have been fixed by new firmware. Anyone up for testing? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I managed to install WinXP and I think I got the driver to work on WindowsXP. The installation was ony possible in IDE Enhaced mode. I wasn't able to feed XP the Intel Matrix Storage controller during installation to use XP wiith AHCI mode. I searched around for instructions on how to upgrade the jmb firmware but without luck. Thougt I upgraded the BIOS of the P5W-DH Mainboard to the latest one (Actually I don't know what Asus changed [Asus does not provide changelogs]) So if you could give me a hint, I'll try to upgrade thie jmb firmware and test hotpluging again. regards Bjoern - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
