You must not have your MB controller set to use AHCI. You control that via you bios settings.
I strongly suggest you use AHCI if you can. It is the linux preferred way to talk to a SATA drive.
In my case, if I do that the disks disappear.
I would seriously file a bug and qualify it as a regression. The core linux ata devs are pushing AHCI as the preferred interface and working to get it fully supported.
They dissapear from the BIOS. The bios sees no disk in the system, so there is no grub, so there is no kernel, so there is no system. To whom do I report? Kernel guys?... good grief, they can't do anything.
This is what the bios sees in IDE mode.

I change to AHCI mode:

This are the possibilities the bios offers:

And finally, this is what the bios says it sees with the three interfaces in AHCI mode. ¡All hard disks have disapeared!
Bizarre. Looks like a bios bug to me. If you care enough you could check for bios updates. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
