The BIOS setting already is in AHCI mode, and not in "compatibility
mode". This is with BIOS version 2.19 on the X61s. I can check to
see if there is a newer BIOS revision... hmm, there is a 2.20, but it
claims the only thing it fixes is:
- Fixed an issue where the AMT menu of BIOS Setup Utility might not be
displayed.
I can try upgrading to it and see if it's any better. Or maybe
someone on the Linux-thinkpad mailing list with contacts inside Lenovo
can bug them. Sounds like there's no way to work around this except
for a BIOS-level fix then? :-(
