Some laptops won't let you do that through BIOS. The BIOS setting already is in AHCI mode, and not in "compatibility mode". This is with BIOS version 2.19 on the X61s. I can check to see if there is a newer BIOS revision... hmm, there is a 2.20, but it claims the only thing it fixes is: - Fixed an issue where the AMT menu of BIOS Setup Utility might not be displayed. I can try upgrading to it and see if it's any better. Or maybe someone on the Linux-thinkpad mailing list with contacts inside Lenovo can bug them. Sounds like there's no way to work around this except for a BIOS-level fix then? :-( - Ted -- 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
