I'm sending this message to Ben Rietbroek who is working on some OS2AHCI points.

One thing that keeps coming up in some cases is that on systems with an Intel disc controller you need the /R option specified. In some cases the system is able to boot with from the CD but it does not recognize the hard disc. Using the /R option fixes.

In the documentation this is written: /r Reset ports during initialization (default = off

unless the [Intel] AHCI controller was found to

be

initialized by the BIOS in SATA mode)

My question what would the result be to do this by default (to always initialize) the controller. Or will this just "fix" some systems (no user action needed) and make other systems hang ?

Can you add this feature to AHCI driver?

Danis506 supports this feature:

When running a WD10EADS on OS2AHCI, disk geometry is not reported properly (see also ticket #29). LVM says:"DISK 1 reports a corrupt partition table". When running the HD via DANIS506 everything works fine. The problem also exists in version 1.29 (different to ticket #30).
