Gigabyte SATA raid and Debian?

[drizzt81]

Hi,

I have a DS4 motherboard that has a gigabyte rebranded Jmicron SATA controller. I would like to use these SATA ports with my debian server. I have set their mode to ``AHCI'' in the bios, but when I connect a drive, it is not detected, unlike the other SATA ports. Any suggestions?

Debian Etch, x86-64

does your kernel have support for jmicron compiled either in the kernel, or as a module?

# lsmod|grep jmicron
jmicron                 9344  0 [permanent]
ide_core              147584  3 ide_generic,generic,jmicron

I would think so. Or is there a different way to check for this?

Do you have the AHCI driver configured in your kernel?

Also, does dmesg show anything about the drives when they are plugged into the jmicron? I'm trying to figure out what you mean by "not detected".

I had the AHCI driver and dmesg used to not say anything about drives being plugged in. A reboot later all this is different and I have no idea why. It now works `flawlessly'... *shrug*
