Hey All, Background: This motherboard has an intel P965 chipset (ICH8). All 4 SATA drives are always recognized by Linux. It also has a JMicro IDE controller, to which I have a PATA CD-Rom drive attached, and a single SATA drive. As of this posting, I am running the latest BIOS provided by Gigabyte, F10. I am currently running kernel 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6.i686 happily on my Gigabyte GA-P965-DS3 motherboard, with FIVE SATA hard drives and CD-ROM all detected. However, all newer kernels released so far (as of this posting) no longer recognize the SATA drive attached to my JMicro IDE port, however, it still recognizes the CDROM drive. It may be of interest to note possible BIOS settings, and how the affect detection of my IDE devices. The ICH8 managed ports have an option called AHCI which can be enabled or disabled. If I enable this option, Linux does not see any of them. Interestingly, during the BIOS screen, a 'secondary' Intel AHCI BIOS is booted and detects the IDE drives, as opposed to the main bios. The JMicro ports have an option of IDE, AHCI, or RAID. Linux 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6.i686 will detect my SATA drive on this controller AND the CD-ROM PATA drive if this is set to IDE. However, if it's set to anything other than IDE, only the CD-ROM is detected. Any FC6-released kernel thats newer than 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6.i686 behaves identically as noted above, however, no matter what setting is used in BIOS, the JMicro SATA drive is NOT detected...
