I just recently installed 8.2-RELEASE/amd64 on this system and looking at dmesg output I noticed: ad4: 476940MB <Seagate ST3500320AS SD1A> at ata2-master UDMA100 SATA 1.5Gb/s I researched the drive (ST3500320AS) and found that it supports SATA @ 3.0Gb/s. The motherboard allegedly does also. But as you can see, I'm only getting 1.5Gb/s upon booting the system. I did some googling around to try to find the cause of the problem, and I found suggestions to enable AHCI in the BIOS, but apparently I can't, in part because there is no such BIOS option, and also because, apparently, the Nvidia nForce 430 doesn't actually support AHCI. But the nForce 430 _does_ allegedly support SATA 3.0Gb/s... just not via AHCI. So, you know, I'd like to know if there's a way for me to enable the 3.0Gb/s support on this board. So far I haven't found any way to do that. Some potentially relevant links: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/help-getting-kernel-to-use-the-ahci-sata-driver-783508/ "The MCP61 is nForce 430, isn't it? This chip does not support AHCI." http://forums.freebsd.org/archive/index.php/t-22186.html http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/ahci.html Fix: Beats me! I just work here (and I don't do drivers). How-To-Repeat: I would imagine that just installing and booting 8.2-RELEASE/amd64 on any motherboard with the Nvidia nForce 430 southbridge will exhibit the problem.
