Also: what BIOS mode is the SATA controller operating in? The SATA firmware in some PCs implement various "weird" modes, including "RAID" (no, not really hardware RAID, just some kind of half BIOS half MS-Windows driver software RAID hack), Make sure the SATA controller is in AHCI mode and not in some other mode. If it is in AHCI mode, it might just work out-of-the-box. > > Akemi > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > > -- Robert Heller -- Cell: 413-658-7953 GV: 978-633-5364 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services hel...@deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
