Okay, thanks. Sounds like I'll have to get another controller for now. Since the BIOS and the loader can see the drives, would it be possible to make the ata driver use the BIOS interface to attach the disks? Any way to see them, even if it's slow, is better than not seeing them at all. It's an embedded controller, so being able to use it in at least some capacity would be nice.
