Hi

You have to set AHCI mode in the BIOS or the resources needed to use it wont be available, so yes its software but not ours :)

Hmm, isn't that a matter of software more than hardware, i.e. the driver
switches to "native" mode when FreeBSD boots?

Or perhaps I should double-check that the BIOS is set to "AHCI mode"?

The hardware is ICH8, except for the DVDR drive which is on a POS
