This is not AHCI-compatible? What's the diff (besides size)? I've no problem going into single user mode (as per suggestion) and dickin' around, but I find this a bit odd . . . no? >> wd1 at pciide0 channel 1 drive 0: <WDC WD2500AAJB-00J3A0> >> wd1: 16-sector PIO, LBA48, 238475MB, 488397168 sectors >> wd2 at pciide0 channel 1 drive 1: <WDC WD1600JB-00GVC0> >> wd2: 16-sector PIO, LBA48, 152627MB, 312581808 sectors >> wd1(pciide0:1:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 6 >> wd2(pciide0:1:1): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 5 > > Those drives are connected to another, non-AHCI controller (or AHCI > isn't supported on it). > > You can go in your BIOS and try to disable AHCI mode, boot normally, > save a backup copy of /etc/fstab, edit current /etc/fstab, reboot, go > in BIOS again and re-enable AHCI mode - as it should be faster and, > sometimes, even more reliable.
