Hi,
I'm having some "issues" getting FC3 and WinXP (I know, I know...) play nice on my new system.
The setup: (1) Drive #1: WinXP (/dev/sda) (2) Drive #2: FC3 (/dev/sdb)
The card: 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801FR/FRW (ICH6R/ICH6RW) SATA Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 03) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 03)
Bootloader: WinXP bootloader (/dev/sda) -> Grub (/dev/sdb1)
What Happens: (1) Boots when "RAID Autodetect / AHCI" (Raid if signal drive, otherwise AHCI) is selected in the BIOS. (2) Boots when "SATA/PATA Combination mode" is selected in the BIOS.
The question: Is it possible to get (2) to boot in "RAID Autodetect / AHCI" mode? Changing the BIOS settings every time is somewhat painful.
I tried: Recompiling the kernel (2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp) with various SATA/AHCI drivers built-in (instead of as modules), but nothing seems to help.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.
Wait for FC4. It supports the autodetect/AHCI stuff. FC3 won't run on my new Dimension 8400, but FC4RC3 runs very nicely.
