[Xen-users] SATA on Foxconn P4M9007MB-8RS2H motherboard
To those of you who may be interested, to get SATA drives to work on this motherboard with Xen 3.3.1 (compiled from source) you need to set SATA to RAID mode in the BIOS, not the default IDE mode. So I can only assume that the 2.6.18.8 kernel has a problem with the VIA SATA in IDE mode, and can''t recognise it, even though the host OS (Ubuntu 8.04LTS, in my case) has no problems with it. After setting the BIOS lspci gives me this: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 Host Bridge 00:00.1 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

RE: [Xen-users] SATA on Foxconn P4M9007MB-8RS2H motherboard
This brings up an interesting point... What if you actually set a fakeRAID device up after choosing RAID mode? I have some systems (no via chipsets) where Linux will detect the drives instead of the RAID (I found this out booting into a LiveCD to do some repair on a Windows file system). I assumed it was related to the system I or Linux version I was using, but if you see similar behavior, then that might be equally important to note if anyone chooses to fakeRAID0/1 their Xen system.
