Just want to add some background info here, our
product will be deployed on thousands of boxes, so
it's not advisable for our product to require the
users to change the default setting of BIOS from AHCI
to Normal mode. I am just thinking wild here so please
bear with me, but I am wandering if there is a way to
load the ata_piix driver with BIOS setting to AHCI
mode? Any pointer will be greatly appreciated.
