It does have NVRAID, which is disabled (i use mdadm). Typically there is a knob that toggles between three states: IDE, AHCI, and RAID. RAID really is AHCI just with a different PCI identifier that causes windows to load their proprietary driver that does the software raid. If you only have an on/off switch for the raid, then try switching it on. > There is no mention of AHCI that i could find. > > Regardless, as long as linux sees the HDDs on boot (which it does > even with PUIS), does the BIOS have any influence in this issue? Only in that it is configuring the controller to behave like a legacy IDE controller instead of a proper SATA one, and that does cause some differences in how the kernel handles the drives. It *shouldn't* cause the problem you are seeing, but it does prevent the system from issuing a hard reset to the drives, which *may* cause them to come around. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJU0SVYAAoJENRVrw2cjl5R984H/Rr/xSVa7x8az1kq0v+bUp1D tIU1gWBRumBMcTGgkHYiePLdr9OFRK867N23UrxG14PbbmiJymr4hi4DbaCqWUYc MzatgvehwK4Y3Lm2Wi3uO27On1O6nior8yPr4i7d/bWWAYC7csX9y522Pbv0hJvx gpZTHarFeU0bXhqKKm9NGvaJuFmwvZosw7dF3pVK01S8crNtYoxX/iLLown2H8PJ OTiIfnZKQwlxwh4DM6v17QQRzesQH8nwZ3PoWysE0WVdcH7bbDRQTn+kIByk4ihD UdtYE1OybaTpIhdzQFTEw6pDS+BVIcu3yqLqrMFzUyiZU9jwwtTpMC4/g2zY31I= =bxbp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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
