For others: the last few lines in the kernel log are: acpi_hpet0: iomem 0xfed00000-0xfed003ff on acpi0 acpi_hpet0: vend: 0x8086 rev: 0x1 num: 3 hz: 14318180 opts: legacy_route 64-bit Timecounter "HPET" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 900 acpi: wakeup code va 0xffffff848311d000 pa 0x4000 ahc_isa_probe 0: ioport 0xc00 alloc failed I don't see any indication of AHCI problems here (or AHCI at all). ahc_isa_probe is for the ahc(4) controller -- Adaptec SCSI. A verbose boot might be more helpful. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
