is SATA support

Yes, CDROMs connected to SATA should work. There is code to support them as well as I tested them in VirtualBox. Note however this bug is about wrong disk size reported by ahci.device, so I haven't tested CDROM extensivelly.

I tried but the cd-rom doesn't work maybe because the achi driver is out of date, I'm not referring to this one you released but the one that is in the latest build

I can try from a usb key installation with the updated device I'll let you know

if I load the system from the stick with the new device it boots regularly but hdtoolbox does not detect the HDs

Well if no of your devices are detected (neither CDROM nor HDDs) that this is a different problem altogether. Have ahci.device ever worked on this hardware? Can you give me PCI vendor ID and product ID of your hardware's AHCI chipset?

it seems to me that it does not work achi device

@Amiwell79

From PCIToolInfo.txt it looks like your SATA devices are working in IDE mode not in AHCI mode. ahci.device will only recognize drives if SATA is working in AHCI mode.

@All

The codes are now pushed to the repository which closes this month's IBOTM! See you in a few days for voting for April's IBOTM. This time, there will be a nice surprise...

i set the sata achi option in the bios and boot the system from the usb key but it does not detect the hd if i want to do an installation

@Amiwell79

All I can say is that according to PCITool your chip is in IDE mode. Class = 0x01 means STORAGE, Subclass = 0x01 means IDE. Also ProductID 0x3a20 resolves to non-AHCI mode in Intel ICH10 documentation.

@deadwood

I started a Pendrive with AROS One + the new ahci.device on a PC where Win10 is installed on a 230 GB SSD HD.

HDtoolbox correctly detects the size of the 230 GB Hardisk, but "Wipe Disk" on InstallAROS does not allow to initialize the partition dedicated to AROS, in some cases when you run InstallAROS it crashes the system.

I also tried with the old ahci.device, "Wipe Disk" does not recognize HD SSDs, am I wrong or are HD SSDs not supported yet?

@AMIGASYSTEM

Please try using base 20220318-1 system with 0.9b ahci.device. @Studenteer reported earlier in this thread that something in AROS One prevents ahci.device from working.

Also it is possible that there is a 2TB total disk size limit. I seem to recall reading somewhere about it, so if possible try with disk smaller than 2TB.

Ok I do some test with 20220318-1 + 0.9b ahci.device, sorry, anyway my SSD Disk is only 230 GB (I misspelled above)

I started up the system in full achi I'll send you the relevant information

@Amiwell79

Your PCITool output shows that SATA chipset is now in RAID mode, not AHCI mode. ahci.device will not detect your disk in RAID mode.

ok

unfortunately, my computer only supports ide emulation and raid+achi

Tested 20220318-1 + 0.9b ahci.device from PenDrive Live USB !

Results are "Identical" to those found with AROS One 2.4, practically same errors !

Installing AROS if run "fast" will send the system to freeze, if you wait a few seconds after Wanderer has finished loading the Freeze seems not to happen.

As you can see from the screenshot if you try to set "Wipe Disk" with "SATA/AHCI", the system crashes, and the error request appears, with 20220318-1 a Guru also appeared.

From the screenshot you can also see that HDToolBox detects the entire size of the SSD Disk

Two questions:

1) What are the results of Wipe operation with ahci.device found on 20220318-1
2) Can you show me the first page of InstallAROS (where you select Wipe option) before clicking "Next" (so before the error in shell is shown and InstallAROS crashes)

Also please export PCITool info to a file so that I can see what hardware you are running.
