Hi,
I'm having some "issues" getting FC3 and WinXP (I know, I know...)
play nice on my new system.
The setup:
(1) Drive #1: WinXP (/dev/sda)
(2) Drive #2: FC3 (/dev/sdb)
The card:
00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801FR/FRW (ICH6R/ICH6RW)
SATA Controller (rev 03)
00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW
(ICH6 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 03)
00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW
(ICH6 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 03)
Bootloader:
WinXP bootloader (/dev/sda) -> Grub (/dev/sdb1)
What Happens:
(1) Boots when "RAID Autodetect / AHCI" (Raid if signal drive,
otherwise AHCI) is selected in the BIOS.
(2) Boots when "SATA/PATA Combination mode" is selected in the BIOS.
The question:
Is it possible to get (2) to boot in "RAID Autodetect / AHCI" mode?
Changing the BIOS settings every time is somewhat painful.
I tried:
Recompiling the kernel (2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp) with various SATA/AHCI
drivers built-in (instead of as modules), but nothing seems to
help.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.
