Hi Mark, |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
...I got some timing problems here, it seems: The answers are comeing |
| 42 |
faster than the related questions are posted. |
| 43 |
Are we disturbing the Einstein/Rosen-continuum here and should better stop |
| 44 |
mailing with lightspeed??? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
;) |

|
| 48 |
My ASUS board offers: |
| 49 |
RAID |
| 50 |
IDE |
| 51 |
AHCI |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
The help to both kernel options mentioned above is saying (beside |
| 54 |
other things): "If unsure, say N". |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
That would lead to a unbootable system (at least with my setup...). |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
One point for clarification: |
| 59 |
Grub has no problem with either settings in the BIOS. Even the kernel |
| 60 |
boots til the point when it wants to access the root partition. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
I will try to reboot the system with kernel using AHCI _and_ the BIOS |
| 63 |
set to AHCI...I will post the result of the stupid experiment in a |
| 64 |
moment...wait... |
