The MSI 6321 motherboard *doesn't* *have* an option to run the chipset in "normal" ATA/100 mode, that's the problem. Andre didn't really answer my question so, to re-phrase - can the 20265 on these boards be set up as a "normal" 2-port ATA/100 controller in software. The BIOS only enables one port - the second port's "enable bit" is showing that it is disabled. There is _no_ BIOS option to run it in non-RAID mode and no jumpers on the board to do so either. If it can, then I'll happily write the code myself and maintain a local patch if needs be but I need to know what bits to poke out of what port and in what order. If it can't be done at least I'll _know_ that it can't be done. I've already tried the MSI support mail address and been met with stunning silence. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
