vt8251 *is* ahci-compliant, and in bios there is option to set |
| 7 |
up sata controller as ide, or ahci. But no matter what you set, |
| 8 |
vt8251/sata is not recognised with standard 2.6.15 kernel... |

But there is unofficial patch/mod for ahci.c, and right now |
| 11 |
I'm testing it. BTW, I have read on via forum that kernel-dev's |
| 12 |
refused to include this patch in official kernel tree, because |
| 13 |
there is something peculiar about it (some fix they do not like). |
| 14 |
BTW, it's made by via and modified by some developers... |
