This RAID thing is an illusion caused by atapicam misreporting the channel - my SATA drive is *not* connected to a RAID controller it is connected to the VIA 6420 SATA controller - which is also not an AHCI controller (at least it does not report as AHCI). The misreporting becomes clear when I have atapi-cd loaded as well viz: acd0: DVDR <TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223F/SB00> at ata6-master SATA150 acd1: DVDROM <LITE-ON DVD SOHD-167T/9S19> at ata1-master UDMA33 ... cd0 at ata4 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd0: <TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223F SB00> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device cd0: 3.300MB/s transfers cd0: cd present [2295104 x 2048 byte records] cd1 at ata6 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd1: <LITE-ON DVD SOHD-167T 9S19> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device cd1: 33.000MB/s transfers cd1: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present -- C:>WIN | Directable Mirror Arrays The computer obeys and wins. | A better way to focus the sun You lose and Bill collects. | licences available see | http://www.sohara.org/
