Question hudson-2 + ide mode ?


It appears that linux forces hudson-2 into AHCI mode via drivers/pci/quirks.c
So when the drives are set to IDE mode in the bios, and AHCI is disabled in the kernel, the drives disappear.
AHCI is forced and the only option for: slackware, gentoo, gparted

FreeBSD, windows/osx don't as far as I can tell.

Can anyone else verify this ?

It appears the first 4 sata ports are disabled in linux when AHCI is disabled.

I have managed to boot from the 5th port (6th port is tied to esata back panel apparently).
