Although the controller is detected on boot the same is not true for the drive (a 200GB Seagate Barracuda). According to the man page the controller is fully supported and having STFW I can't find anything useful to aid my cause. Having looked through LINT I can't see that there's anything that would be useful to pass at boot time, so does anyone have any suggestions? All advice or pointers to docs etc appreciated.
