I run FreeBSD 8.1 on an old Asus P5B-VM motherboard with ICH8. Its AMI BIOS lacks an option to enable AHCI mode. Intel's datasheet for the ICH8 family specifies that this feature exists on the ICH8, and the option is available in the BIOS for the identical (apart from form factor) P5B motherboard. http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/313056.pdf I've contacted Asus support for an updated BIOS but I don't have much hope I will ever see one. Would it be possible to patch the FreeBSD kernel to enable AHCI mode somehow during boot? Regards Morgan
