That's what I thought. lspci reveals a Sil3114 SATA |
35 |
controller and, in fact, the Sil3114 chip is right |
36 |
there on the motherboard prominently displayed. But |
37 |
choosing the Sil option in the SCSI device page has no |
38 |
effect. It wasn't until I compiled in the nVidia |
39 |
option that the HD was finally detected. |
