| Does anyone have serial ATA drives working in linux on the A7N. I was thinking of getting a new serial ATA drive but I can't find anything about Linux drivers. |

| I have an a7n8x deluxe and I had support for the chipset built in. It seemed to work, but I couldn't really tell since I didn't have a serial ATA drive. I ended up removing it since it wasted time probing for the SATA drives on boot. |

You can prevent this by adding the following to the kernel boot command line:
where hdg is the drive in question. |

2.4.21-ac1 has support for both silicon ide and silicon raid - the support is getting better and better, and I think now you can run in udma modes

| Is there a way for me to disable the SATA on the a7n8x motherboard in the bios setup. Because i have the a7n8x deluxe and everytime i start up it probes for SATA devices which i don't have. It also seems to affect how long windows takes to boot up. Yeah I know I am using windows, but more games run on it. So is there a way to disable the SATA in the bios? |
