As for BIOS RAID, every howto and tutorial i read about software RAID/mdadm advices aggainst using the BIOS RAID implementation as it's usually quite lacking in terms of quality. >> There is no mention of AHCI that i could find. Maybe it never got to this BIOS. Maybe there is something AHCI-related in NVRAID, i never poked into that. -- 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
