Hi!

 I wonder whether anyone here can help me with a little problem:
I just bought a notebook with a VIA VT 6421 sata controller and a Samsung HM080JI sata harddisk. The controller is recognized with 6.0 B3 but it can't identify the harddisk - i get the following error:

unknown: timeout waiting to issue command
unknown: error issueing ATA_IDENTIFY command
unknown: timeout waiting to issue command
unknown: error issueing ATA_IDENTIFY command

when I boot the system in verbose mode I can see that there is a hd
ata2: SATA connect ready time=0ms
ata2: sata_connect devices=0x1<ATA_MASTER>
ata2: [MPSAFE]

after that the error from above follows...

Does anyone have an idea how to solve my problem (I honestly hate the idea to use Linux or worse Windows on the notebook)

thanks in advance,
