<PRE>R James skrev 5.3.2013 17:20:
&gt;<i> I remember when PATA (IDE) drivers were statically compiled into the
</I>&gt;<i> kernel, then we went to modular IDE which I liked because modprobe
</I>&gt;<i> ordering could be controlled. (When dealing with parity RAID, its nice
</I>&gt;<i> to have logical drive enumeration because SATA ports don't have UUID
</I>&gt;<i> labels.)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> But now it seems we've come full circle:
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> [<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">root at localhost</A> ~]# grep SATA_AHCI /boot/config-3.8.1-desktop-1.mga3
</I>&gt;<i> CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y
</I>&gt;<i> CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=y
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Is there a compelling reason to do this (other than AHCI is popular)?
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>

It's needed to be able to boot new hw without need for initrd.

&gt;<i> I'm putting together a home-brewed a file server using an old
</I>&gt;<i> motherboard plus a couple of add-in SATA controllers. With the Mageia
</I>&gt;<i> stock kernel, the enumeration looks like:
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> sda = RAID disk 08 (ahci)
</I>&gt;<i> sdb = RAID disk 09 (ahci)
</I>&gt;<i> sdc = RAID disk 10 (ahci)
</I>&gt;<i> sdd = RAID disk 11 (ahci)
</I>&gt;<i> sde = Mageia OS (sata_nv) (1st port on mobo)
</I>&gt;<i> sdf = RAID disk 01 (sata_nv)
</I>&gt;<i> sdg = RAID disk 02 (sata_nv)
</I>&gt;<i> sdh = RAID disk 03 (sata_nv)
</I>&gt;<i> sdi = RAID disk 04 (sata_sil)
</I>&gt;<i> sdj = RAID disk 05 (sata_sil)
</I>&gt;<i> sdk = RAID disk 06 (sata_sil)
</I>&gt;<i> sdl = RAID disk 07 (sata_sil)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Of course its no problem to re-compile the kernel with AHCI as a module
</I>&gt;<i> so I can modprobe it last. Just wondering why AHCI is now the exception
</I>&gt;<i> to modular sata...?
