Hello,
I have an A8N5X motherboard running Suse10 with a pci Sata controller (sil3114 chipset). Installtion went fine BUT when I connect the hard drives to the Sata controller the OS (any kind of OS as a matter of fact, tried it with bsd and linux) doesn't load. The computer starts the booting procedure: loads bios, detects hard drives attached to the motherboard, then it loads the sil3114 controller, lists drives attached followed with a "no valid device" message and nothing happens
.
I just want to use the controller as a sata extention I don't need the raid feature. When I go in the configuration utility of the s3114 it just gave me the choice between Create RAID, delete RAID, Rebuild RAID and low level format so I suppose that Sata is set to default.
any ideas?
Any Help much apprciated
