Comment (by Luposian):
Axeld - I misspoke. When I said "AHCI compliance", I meant making Haiku
work with my system's AHCI mode, which it doesn't. And, I think it would
be a pointless venture to try and "patch" a workaround, to make it work
with my particular system, which would not really make Haiku better, in
the overall scheme of things. Unless it was simply an "add-on" that could
detect whether or not it needed to be enabled or something. Otherwise,
you're (whichever dev assigned to the task) just adding more code to the
tree (bloat), for one particular case, which I'm not going to expect.
Afterall, how many people actually (still) own an Acer Aspire X1200
anyways?
Thus, unless the "fix" can be enabled in a non-bloat form, I think this
ticket should be closed. We've reached the end and it's time to give up
the quest. Some systems can work with Haiku natively and others cannot,
and I think the best use of dev resources are on making Haiku work with
systems as natively as possible, without funky work-arounds. Haiku should
only be expected to work with properly built/BIOS'd systems, not cheap OEM
systems that people only run Windows on, til the Next Big BSoD (i.e.
version of Windows) comes along... agreed?
So, unless you or someone else wishes to actually endeavor to "fix" this
minor issue (if possible), then just consider this ticket over and done
with. I won't reopen it.
As a parting remark, is there any way to definitively tell if Haiku is
using AHCI mode on a SATA hard drive? I'm running my Haiku64 install SATA
drive on an old Compaq Presario SR1910NX system and the latest BIOS has no
AHCI/IDE option at all. So, assuming the system can/does switch between
the two, how do I know which mode Haiku is actually using? Is there a
Terminal command for that or is it some line in the SysLog or...?
