From: David Baron on 25 May 2010 12:20 Anyone with experience and Debian-related information on motherboards by DFI and by Winsonic? Apparently of the few which support modern CPU and memory and still sport as ISA slot or two. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I really like the board but it did throw a curveball at me. Since it had an Intel ICH10R southbridge, I expected it to have an Intel ICH storage controller and use the ata_piix driver. This was not the case, instead, it used a Jmicron storage controller (using the ahci driver) which forced me into using the kmuto installer and the lenny-backports kernel. Other than that, I think its great. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hello, I might be wrong, but I guess the exact name for your motherboard is DFI Lanparty DK p45-t2rs PLUS (as opposed to the Elite or Turbo models), which has 8 SATAII ports, and I also guess you have used the two yellow ports? If so, plug your drives in the orange ports to use the Sata controller from the ICH10R and not the JMicron JMB363 (given the vast amount of options traditionnally present in a DFI LanParty BIOS, you can probably disable the JMicron controller if you want to do so). The ICH10R only provides 6 SATAII ports, and the JMicron controller is there to provide 2 additionnal ports. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I will have to look into it again, but I have 3 drives so they could not all be in the two yellow ports. This may also explain why fdisk lists my drives in the order: sdc, sdb, sda. Running lspci -k, I don't recall seeing ata_piix at all. Thanks for the input, I will have another look tonight. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
