That's probably why. To use AHCI you need to set it to RAID mode. Having done that, you can still use the drives independently if you prefer kernel RAID; you just have to go into the BIOS RAID setup and set the drives to JBOD mode (or something like that), by telling it to remove all RAID information from the drives.
I don't think so, because I have another DL320 (older G3 version) with same bios setup (sata mode). On that G3, ahci is working.
Well I haven't used that particular server, but was describing what I have found with other HP models (ML110 or DL360). On at least one of them, possibly both, I found that if I had the RAID mode turned off in the BIOS, then it only picked up the ata_piix driver, not ahci.
Ok, I've now checked up and it was the ML110 where I discovered that behaviour. The DL360 I worked with was completely different, using a driver called cciss.
Sorry for the misinformation.
