Jeff, Where you say: "Preliminary driver with full AHCI support now exists, and is being integrated into libata mainline." I assumed you meant that it exists in your libata-2.6 kernel and was going to be integrated into Linus' soon. If this is true, my report deals with your kernel not mainline as in Ravi's case. If I don't have the kernel with full AHCI support, can I get and test it? If I do have it, it seems like a bug in either BIOS, ata_piix, or libata, no? Thanks BR
