I installed the v1.31 ahci package and rebooted.

After several attempts at booting - a good clue there is a problem somewhere - I finally got to a working Desktop.

I did notice with all the above (re)boots that booting took noticably longer than when not using the os2ahci.add driver - over a minute longer.

I have read that AHCI is faster for drive access than IDE. That does not seem to apply here, if anything drive access is slower.

I also see a problem with accessing my SATA DVD Burner. Having loaded the disc and waited for the drive LED to stop flashing I clicked on the DVD Burner icon to open the drive window. The system "froze" for over 30 seconds - the Desktop was totally un-responsive, mouse pointer moved but nothing could be selected - and then the drive window opened to show the contents. If I Right Mouse Button on the drive it takes a very similar amount of time for the popup menu to appear - and the system is "frozen" while waiting.

I have attached 2 logs:-

BOOT_dadzone-20131009-ahci-1.31.log is the boot log to try and ascertain if there is a problem during boot.

RUNTIME_dadzone-20131009-ahci-1.31.log is a runtime log to try and ascertain why it takes so long to access my SATA DVD Burner.

When booting with Danis and in Bios compatibility mode it works.

When i switch to AHCI in Bios AHCI gives me: Found AHCI device Intel PCH AHCI (0:31:2 8086:3b2f) class:0x010601

And after that i get a: OS/2 is unable to operate your hard disk or diskette drive. The System is stopped

The OS2AHCI.ADD is version 1.31 from 8th August 2013

I tested all AHCI driver up to the latest 1.3.0 eCS 2.2 beta is able to boot in AHCI mode like in IDE mode.

I have following drivers into config.sys and in the following sequence: BASEDEV=OS2AHCI.ADD /n BASEDEV=DANIS506.ADD /!BIOS ... BASEDEV=DANIATAP.FLT BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD

My PATA CDROM is never detected ! Why ?
