The 3114 works fine as a normal IDE controller. But unless you have the very latest SATA code (not yet in -stable) it can't read the BIOS-made arrays. Delete them, and recreate them using atacontrol instead and you'll find it works fine. But don't pull a drive during a rebuild or you'll get a kernel panic ;-) On Mon, Feb 07, 2005 at 03:56:21PM +1030, Paul A.
