ahci driver for PowerEdge 860?

[Bart van Kuik]

Hi list,

I have a PowerEdge 860 here, running RedHat AS 5. I'm wondering if I can
use the ahci driver instead of the ata_piix. I've seen the previous
messages on this subject, the latest from 2006. I've tried the
suggestions, but alas, the ahci driver didn't load.

I wondered if anyone got any further?

As this message mentions, the A02 BIOS only mentions "SATA Controller"
with options "ATA Mode" and "Off".

Thanks,
Bart
