Hi,
I have a Sil3112A SATA controller, which linux works OK with. It supports RAID (up to 4 devices), but I'm using BASE option -- only 1 hard drive.
My question is regarding a 15-20 second delay which normally occurs every time I boot, unless I pass the options ide3=0 - ide9=0 to fill up the device table. I think I have to do this because if I do only ide3=0 (where the device would be), it uses ide4, and so on. I have GRUB set up to do this automatically, but it's not exactly adequate (,is it?). So I was wondering if there're any other ways to get the same affect. Is or could there be an option to simply disable the probing of the one specific device/channel every time?
Thanks,
