I am particularly interested in systems which have a separate,
traditional non-AHCI ATA device as well as one or more AHCI devices,
I'd like to know that AHCI picks up the AHCI devices
:I have an old motherboard with 2 non-AHCI SATA controllers. Despite preloaded
:ahci.ko booting the latest snapshot gives the following:
Sure, that's to be expected. Since they aren't AHCI-capable the
AHCI driver did not pick them up, and the ATA driver did. That's
a good test too,
The AHCI driver is now working for DISK and ATAPI attachments, and
hot-plug also now works.
All major features except port multiplier support are now operational.
The hot-plug support is very recent and probably needs some tweaking,
but it works with my basic tests.
