Hi Soren, desoldering the resistor as shown on
http://soekris.com/media/Transcend_mSATA_mod.jpg worked as expected, the 32GB Transcend mSATA is now recognized by the BIOS. Thanks for pointing me to this. I have to get back to the enumeration/detection issue, which did not change when using the mSATA drive exclusively. A defective spinning drive therefore drops out. I see the very same behaviour as described in my initial mail - same (seemingly) timing oddity, same port related delay - but now with the SSD disk only: ... SATA AHCI BIOS ver. 0.6 20110902 Copyright (C) 2003-2011 Intel Corporation Controller Bus#02, Device#06, Function#00: 02 Ports, 01 Devices Port-00: No device detected Port-01: Hard Disk, Soekris USB Expansion ROM ver. 1.01 20111203 ... You mention that comBIOS is "pretty quick". Wouldn't it be an option to introduce a delay parameter? Or alternatively, wait a couple of milliseconds longer? What I see is quite a reproducible pattern with nothing involved than the BIOS (whatever it consists of). So I'd consider this the most appropriate place to fix it. What are you thinking about that? All the best, /Markus _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
