You could try enabling the PATA port and seeing what happens I guess. > Also, in both compatible and enhanced mode, the BIOS has no problem > booting off the PATA port (with the IDE DOM that i bought). That I would expect - most BIOSes just use the legacy 0x170/0x1F0 interfaces and polled I/O. They don't care what the logic being driven is. > That would make me think it's actually wired to the ICH.

Seems a strange thing to do but it might be the case, and if so we can probably add a Linux quirk based on the DMI data to unhide it. -- 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
