I have one HP Proliant DL320 G5p, where for some reason, the AHCI mode is not enabled. According to server specs, it should have AHCI/NCQ capability, but ata_piix module gets loaded during bootup, not ahci module. Any ideas how to enable AHCI mode?
I'm not sure for this particular model server, but normally this is a *BIOS* setting for the SATA controller.
There are no settings in BIOS for AHCI mode, it's only possible to choose between raid and sata controller mode, i have chosen sata mode.
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.
Hope this helps Tony
