ASUS P5B and AHCI with 4 SATA drives (reminder)
Hallo kernel hackers,
as I mentioned in my last mail from 2006-08-31 [1], the AHCI driver (ahci.c) from the default linux kernel tree does not support all 4 ports of my ASUS P5B mainboard. (only 2 of 4 hard discs)
I ask you, what is wrong with my patch I attached at the mail to Jeff and this mailing-list?
I know that introducing a new kernel commandline argument is no smart way to solve it, but better than no solution, yet. Isn't it?
Has anybody more details about that problem of detecting the right number of physical ports and their mapping?
Regards,
Mathias
