ghemml Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 A method I used for my Iwill DN800-SLI Workstation Motherboard. My southbridge is a 6300ESB Hance Rapid, which has 4 PATA and 2 SATA. When bootup in Darwin the generic PATA is loaded. So in Bios I disabled Enahanced-SATA, and allow only 2 PATA and 2 SATA. If I'm wrong, when the all the PATA(4) and SATA(2) is enable the Darwin can only detect and support up to first 4 channel, and the first 4 are the 4 PATA. The only way is to disable your last 2 PATA(Secondary Master and Slave), so the 2 SATA replace the 2 disabled channels. Hope this works for other motherboard using 6300ESB southbridge.
