Is this your card?
Yes that is the very card, the page says the chipset is Marvell 88SE9128 but "lspci" shows
Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9123 PCIe SATA 6.0 Gb/s controller
It is odd because the kernel reports it as "88SE9123" the web page says it is "88SE9128" as does the manual supplied with the card. Now the
Yeah, I noticed that too, and thought it odd.
<snip> I looked at the "manual", and the only thing that came to mind was to try going into the BIOS and making sure that it was set to AHCI rather than, say, IDE, or whatever.
Thanks Mark for the reply , I hadn't thought about the card posting drives in the bios, I assumed only the onboard SATA devices would allow you change the mode in the motherboard's BIOS. I will have a look on Monday to see if anything has appeared in the BIOS. I guess the default mode in a SATA6 card would be AHCI but yes worth a check.
Cheers,
Steve
