Their stuff has always seemed more than a little screwy to me.
The solution for us here, is sata_mv, which will replace their drivers
for this series of boards.
But.. Wow! a BIOS that just arbitrarily decides to overwrite a disk sector
when one connects some other drive to it, without ever even entering their
BIOS setup screen.. And apparently doesn't even need to, since it does NOT
seem to do the same thing to drives that are configured as JBOD within
their BIOS.
Ugh.
Cheers
