Hi James, Can you send us your full dmesg and lspci? I submitted one patch to support SATA AHCI 6Gbps message in 2008, does your kernel contain it? http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commi t;h=8522ee25f3a645577d41e71328cd4fcf8610dfeb Thanks, Shane ----- Forwarded message from James Cloos <cloos@xxxxxxxxxxx> ----- Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2010 12:50:41 -0500 From: James Cloos <cloos@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: AMD 890GX vs 6Gbps SATA? User-Agent: Gnus/5.110011 (No Gnus v0.11) Emacs/24.0.50 (gnu/linux) All of the ad copy and doc I can find claim that the sata controller in the 890gx supports 6Gbps sata3. But I still get this: ahci 0000:00:11.0: AHCI 0001.0200 32 slots 6 ports 3 Gbps 0x3f impl SATA mode ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata2.00: ATA-8: WDC WD1002FAEX-xxxxxx, 05.xxxxx, max UDMA/133 I hadn't noticed before because that box's first drive only supports 3 Gbps. Does the 6Gpbs mode require that all of the disks are sata3? (That would be /most/ annoying, given that optical drives all seem to be 1.5Gbps.) Did MSI screw something up on the board? Or is the ad copy exaggerative? I took a look though the bios config; I didn't find anything relevant. -JimC -- 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
