K9A Platinum with PCI VIA 6421A SATA Controller

Hi everyone, I have a problem, I was using a VT6421A VIA Sata Controller with K9A Platinum FW 1.1 without any problems, I upgraded to 4 GB of RAM with Vista x64 then flashed the motherboard 1.7 firmware, mother recognizes full 4 GB of Ram. After upgrade firmware to 1.7, PCI VIA Sata controller doesn't recognizes both Pioneer 112D attached to it, before firmware update it was working perfectly.
I'm using RAID configuration in the motherboard, could be a problem betwen the motherboard's RAID and the VIA SATA Raid controller?
Since the upgrade to 1.7 firmware, POST doesn't show the VIA Controller menu with the attached devices, Windows Vista can see the card installed but no drives attached to it  :(
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

Thanks for your reply, can you tell me how can I enable or disable memory remapping from the Setup?
Where can I find it in K9A Platinum? is something that looks like HW/SW Memory Mapping or how it's called that option?
Is it possible to get a screenshot of where i can change it??
Thanks a lot!
"can you tell me how can I enable or disable memory remapping from the Setup?  is something that looks like HW/SW Memory Mapping or how it's called that option?"
Yes name of option is correct, but think its not available in BIOS if im correct.
Can you test with 2GB of memory only to see if the problem will be duplicated there too?

  • VIA 6421A SAT card in my G4 733 - possible?

    Hi,
    I have a VIA 6421A SATA card in my PC which I'd like to move over to my G4 733. I tried just plugging it in, but it didn't seem to be visible... any ideas?

    Because hard drives connected to ATA and SATA controller cards should be bootable, the cards must contain a Mac ROM, which makes them firmware-based. Cards that require drivers are driver-based, but because the driver is written on the hard drive, it's read after the hard drive has begun the startup sequence. A driver-based controller card wouldn't be useful, because its driver could never be read before the card and connected drive(s) are recognized.

    HI AaronYuri, thanks for the response but I have tried the cards switched and the cables swapped/reversed, I have tested the cards on there own in the board, I have just noticed that when I do system information it can see the both cards on the board but it only give me the memory information for one of the cards, not sure if this is relevant but assume that because I am using the main card for my display the others is not being used.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum & ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe SATA controller prob

    Recently I have been in the process of reinstalling my rig onto a new 50GB Raptor since my current installation has seen better days. Unfortunately, it seems that one of the problems has not gone away with the new install. Maybe the updated drivers are a case of the cure being worse than the disease but whatever the reason, the problem is extremely irritating.
    Whenever I try to do any of the following, and any SATA dri've is "thinking", I seem to get fizzing or popping noises in sync with the HDD activity light on my case, only when an SATA dri've is "thinking" or being accessed. ?
    Using any EAX Advanced HD effects like Environments<
    Using CMSS 2<
    Invoking the onboard Dolby Digital or DTS Decoder (i.e. using SPDIF setting in Power DVD so DD or DTS signals get upmixed to 6. rather than rely on the software decoder)<
    Playing a DVD Audio Disc at full 24/96 setting<
    Playing any Fruity Loops mix using the ASIO 24/96 setting with lowest latency<
    or any combination of the above at a time.
    This problem is even more blatant when invoking a virus or spyware scanner like Windows Defender. When I previoulsy had my IDE 60GB Hard disk connected and I am currently using a USB 2.0 WD MyBook ES Edition and whenever these dri'ves are being accessed or written to, no noise is apparent. When I used this sound card on my really old rig with IDE hard disk I had no popping or fizzing noises unless the system was under an incredible amount of strain! ?
    This problem didnt seem to occur so much when using the drivers supplied with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum. However this problem worsened once I went on Creatives Auto Update and got the latest drivers that they suggested, along with the Audio Console and stuff. ?
    It sounds to me like my SATA controller (some brand called Silicon, its built into the Asus Motherboard) is interferring with my sound card and/or the drivers.
    Can anyone shed light on the situation please!!
    My PC spec is as follows:
    AMD Athlon XP 3200+
    Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe ?
    2GB DDR RAM PC3200
    Radeon X600 PRO 52MB
    320GB WD SATA Hard Disk & 500GB WD MyBook ES

    Fabrizziov,
    Is the sound muffled and distorted when you plug headphones into the headphone out on the platinum dri've? If not, plug the headphones into the sound card's front output and run a speaker test to see if it is muffled and distorted from there. If it is then it is most likely a problem with the card's hardware. If this is the case I would suggest exchanging it for another through your retailer. You can also contact support for a repair if needed. Their contact information is at http://us.creative.com/support/custsup.

  • Which BIOS version for K9A Platinum with 4GB memory / GeForce GT430 ?

    I was running 1.4 with 2GB (2x1)  Kingston memory and the GT430, everything OK.
    Then I replaced memory with 4GB (2x2) Corsair memory and XP hung during startup ... changing voltage (1.9 to 2.1) & timings (4-4-4-12) didn't help, so I decided to flash to BIOS 1.9. Bad idea, the video card wasn't found anymore ... running 1.4 again now.
    Anyone here with a K9A and similar setup and a BIOS > 1.4 ??

    Quote from: Goner on 13-February-11, 01:43:14
    Yeah, I know the PSU isn't the best one around. But on the other hand so far it never caused problems ... I'll get a new one before trying to put in the Corsair 4GB memory.
    But in this particular case the PSu is not the problem ; if the K9A board detects the GT430 with BIOS 1.4, but not with 1.8 and 1.9 it's not the PSU's fault, right ?
    I read on another forum that someone had the same kind of problem with a K9A, BIOS 1.9 and a HD5870 videocard. He claims he got hold of a 1.10b1 BIOS that actually fixed the problem ...
    Will try attached BIOS ...

  • KT6V LSR (MS 7021) SATA controller card second opinion, please

    I want to thank Fredrik Asenius for his reply to my previous post.
    However, due to the fact that the purchase of a SATA controller card and two SATA2 hard disks will be handled, of necessity, at a distance of 800 kilometers (involving courier expenses), the technician of the store has requested that I ask for a second opinion from another expert in the forum. An error, therefore, could be very costly. (No offense of any kind intended to Fredrik Asenius)
    My motherboard is the MSI KT6V LSR (MS 7021) Via KT600 Northbridge and Via 8237 Southbridge chipsets.
    Both SATA connections are currently taken up by two SATA hard drives (no striping, nor mirroring in use). The rest of the installation consists of IDE CDRW and DVDRW drives, as well as an MSI Nvidia NX6200AX (256 RAM) AGP video card and a Soundblaster Live Value PCI audio card. The other four PCI slots are not occupied. The system also has 1.5 gigabytes of RAM and a 520-watt PSU. I am running Windows XP SP2 Professional.
    My questions are the following:
    (1) Since the two SATA connectors on my motherboard are occupied, if I wish to add another SATA device I will have to install a SATA controller card. Does the SATA controller card have to be SATA 1 or can I also use a SATA 2 controller card?
    IMPORTANTLY, the technician questions whether the motherboard will accept a controller card adding more SATA devices. He says that you cannot add any more SATA devices to this motherboard. Is he correct?
    (2) If it is possible to add more SATA devices using a controller card, since the chipset on the motherboard is Via the SATA controller software is also from Via. Does the SATA controller card also have to be one that uses the Via SATA RAID software? (In other words, are there compatibility issues? Can all this all work together?)
    Once again, thanks for the help.

    I have had a fair amount of experience with this kind of issue.
    1. No, the add in card does not need to be SATA I, it can be SATA II. I recommend a SATA II card and SATA II drives. Putting SATA II drives on a SATA I controller can fail to work.
    2. Is he wrong? Essentially, yes he is wrong. It depends on how literally you take his words. You can NOT add more SATA drives to the motherboard. You CAN add an add-in SATA card and then put the additional SATA drives on that new add-in card. The difference in wording the answer is critical.
    You ask about the Via chipset on the motherboard and also on the add-in card. Actually, it is probably LESS likely that the add-in card will work if the chipsets are the same. The issue is the computer being able to differentiate between the two controllers. I had this very problem with a machine.
    That computer had two add-in cards. Each was the same brand. The computer could not differentiate between the two cards and gave a hardware error. I replaced one of the cards with another brand and it works fine. The manufacturer suggested trying the cards in different PCI slots. I did not try that, I just got a new card because it was easier for me.
    The add-in card does NOT need to support RAID, that is optional. If you do not want to use RAID, the card does not have to support it. If you do want to use RAID, obviously the card does need to support it. RAID is part hardware and part software so if the card supports it and you do not to set it up as RAID, that is fine.
    One caution...If the add-in card has an external port that you want to use, be aware that there is something called e-SATA that might use an incompatable type of port connecter. I had a card with that connecter and I found that the cables are extremely expensive and also hard to find. Most external SATA connectors are the SATA I style that you are used to though.

  • M93P and use of 2 HDD Controller | add additional SATA Controller

    Hello,
    Has anyone added a second HDD SATA controller to their ThnikCentre M93/p , my is a mini tower, to add SATA HDD ports to their setup. I have try to add a Marvell 88SE9230 based RAID HDD Controller as a second controller, but was not recognized.
    Thanks for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I just added a 2-port PCIe SATA controller, Syba SI-PEX40061, to my M93p.  Windows 7 recognized it and automatically installed drivers, and I subsequently installed updated drivers.  It's based on Marvell 88SE9120 Chipset.  When a HDD is attached, prior to boot, Win 7 hangs.  If a HDD is connected after Win 7 has booted, it causes BSOD. Lenovo BIOS is setup for AHCI by default and I set it to allow legacy BIOS support, and the controller has AHCI by default.  Still can't get controller to work.  HAS ANYONE HAD LUCK WITH AN ADD-ON SATA CONTROLLER?

  • MS-7046 with latest BIOS destroys SATA-Harddisks!

    Please help...

    Hi!
    Have a look at the connector you used. If you have the full K8T Neo, you have two SATA controllers. One VIA and one Promise. You then have 4 SATA ports on the board. you need to use the ones closest to your RAM, so, the upper ones.
    Did you buy a SATA or SATA-II disk? In case it's SATA-II, check the SATA/SATA-II jumper on the drive and set it to SATA-I. Your board does NOT support SATA-II.
    when you checked this, please verify in BIOS that you actually did enable the VIA V8237 SATA controller. When you did, boot further untill the POST screen disappears. Now, you see a VIA SATA BIOS screen. It should list your Seagate now.

  • Overclocking K9A Platinum

    I was wondering if there are any overclockers who have gotten a K9A Platinum with a 5200+ Windsor (2.6GHz) to run over 3.3 GHz?
    I'm pretty experienced as an overclocker and I have a liquid cooling system. I can't cross the 3.3 Gig threshold to save my life. I'm not talking instability..I post, all looks good but then it doesn't even bother to boot to Windows. I only get as far as 3.27 GHz and it is rock solid at around 40C under load. It just seems odd to me that my overclock would stop so abruptly at 3.3
    Thanks!
    gg

    I'm running 252 X 13 with voltage at 1.350 + 20%. I have my memory base at 667 with an adjusted freq of like 830 or in that area. The only HT link speed setting on my board is "Standard" or "For Overclocking", whatever that means. I've tried lowering my divider to 12 and all kinds of other things. In every case, I can't get to 3.30 GHz.
    I'm considering lowering the proc freq so I can get more out of my memory by starting at 800 and trying to reach a balance of max memory freq along with a lower overclock. I guess the question is; which will benefit me more: A maxed out proc with a lower memory freq? or ,a lower proc overclock with maxed out memory?

    it is installed in the x16 slot. i tried gen 1 x1 slot i was getting pathetic 130MB/s what is going... on new egg people with this drive and the controller are getting more than 400MB/s

    Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit, Video card is EVGA GTX295, Marvell 91xx Sata 6G Controller Driver is 1.0.0.1034.
    Oh wow that is crazy.
    So there are only 2 explanations left since I only have GTX260.
    1. I have some fluke Rev 0 motherboard.
    2. Marvell chip doesn't like Crucial SSDs. Which I did hear kind of on Crucial forum. (I am thinking this).
    To finally conclude it is Crucial SSD, can you take me which revision/model of motherboard you have? I think i seen it on a corner of the motherboard printed. Or in the bios.
    I'll get mine from the BIOS tonight.
    Also I wonder if overclocking the CPU increase the speed.... I asked brasstech if he overclocked... I hope he did, that would explain things.

  • Problems booting from onboard SATA with PCI SATA controller installed

    I have a K7N2 Delta-ILSR motherboard (BIOS v 7.8), and my Windows XP installation is on a single drive attached to the onboard Promise 378 SATA RAID controller.  I have a PCI Promise TX2200 SATA RAID controller installed, currently in PCI slot 5.  The OS boots normally off the onboard controller if I do not have my RAID0 array attached to the PCI controller, but I get disk boot failure messages if I have the RAID0 attached to the Promise TX2200.
    I have tried putting the PCI controller in different slots to change IRQ channel routing, tried changing boot order in the BIOS, and even tried assigning specific IRQ priorities to the slot with the Promise TX2200.
    My basic question is this:  how do I get this motherboard to boot from the onboard controller while I have my RAID0 attached to the add-on PCI controller?

    Well, Promise got back to me.  They were insightful enough to tell me what I already knew and that they didn't support what I was trying to do:

When the TX2200 is installed and the array is attached, it is detected as C: by the motherboard BIOS and the active boot drive as D:. The TX2200 is detected during boot (after POST) first, the onboard contoller second. I have tested the TX2200 in...
    Case Solution:   Hi Sorry for the late reply. Are you by any chance running both the FT 376 embedded controller along with the FT TX2200 if so than you will run into bios or driver conflict when both controllers in the system. Promise only recommend and support one cards pre system. Thank you.
    ... and MSI
    Quote
    Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
    As onboard SATA controller and PCI controller are both promise. It exits compatibility between them. You could try the following procedures to check if they could solve the issue:
    1. Please contact the PCI card vendor to ask if there is relative firmware update
    2. Please disable all the onboard devices which you don't want to use in bios setup.
    3. You could try different MB bios version to have a check. You could download these versions from here.
    Please feel free to let us know if you still have any further issues or inquiries
    So that leaves me 3... downgrading my BIOS is not worth the risk just to make this work.  Looks like its time for a full migration plan so this issue becomes moot. 

  • MSI K9A Platinum and VIA drivers issue? XP 0x0000007B stop error.

    I get a Windows Stop error when trying to boot into Windows XP with new components. The SATA hard drive (and Windows XP installation) is from the old computer.
    The new computer components are:
    MB: MSI K9A Platinum, chipset: RD580 (North Bridge), SB600 (South Bridge)
    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+, boxed (the cooler and fan came with the CPU).
    Video: MSI Radeon 1950 XTX
    The old (and working) computer setup is:
    OS: XP Professional
    MB: Abit AV8-3rd Eye, chipset: VIA K8T800Pro + VT8237
    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
    Video: Sapphire Radeon 9800Pro All-in-Wonder, videodriver: atidvag.dll version 6.14.10.6542
    HD: Maxtor 6B200M0 SCSI Disk Device
    BIOS: Phoenix 6.00PG 20.04.2005
    System drivers with "via" in the name: VIAAGP1.SYS, viaide.sys, viasride.sys
    VIA 4in1 (Hyperion) version: 4.55 (that can be found at HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Via4in1Driver).
    VIA 2.20e SATA/RAID driver was used when installing this computer setup.
    The precise stop error is:
    0x0000007B (0xba4c3528, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    From many sites I have gathered that the error is related to Windows XP not being able to access a critical system drive. Most probably the SATA hard drive issue.
    The problem probably is the VIA drivers of the old motherboard and/or the SATA driver.
    First I should mention, that MSI K9A Platinum does not have a hard disk SATA driver. If it does, I have been unable to find one. Certainly no such floppy disk included, and no such driver in the MSI's Web page for this motherboard.
    Second important point: I never used RAID. I did use VIA 2.20e SATA/RAID driver disk when installing Windows XP to the old computer.
    Strange that the hard drive model is reported as a "SCSI Disk Device". It's not a SCSI drive however: it's a SATA disk.
    I have tried to uninstal the motherboard chipset drivers (Hyperion v4.55), but there seems to be a bug here: the drivers should be uninstalled using the installation program, and select the uninstall option. However, I do not get the uninstallation option to choose at all! Yes, I'm using the normal installation mode, not the quick installation (although tried that, too). The Hyperion setup program just installs, and asks to reboot the computer. After rebooting and trying again, it still does not offer me an uninstallation choise.
    I know how to install hard drive VIA SATA driver, but I have no idea how to uninstall it. And I'm afraid to do that without certainty that it IS the solution, since I could not access the hard drive any more in the old computer setup (and return to read this forum). Also, I do not have a floppy drive any more. Anyone know if there is an issue with K9A and XP having VIA SATA driver installed?
    When I tried the new computer setup, I first tried the simplest possible hardware combination: there were no CD/DVD-drives, no (parallel)IDE hard drives, and no PCI cards, except the MSI video adapter.
    My BIOS Setup experiments. None of these helped: got the same stop error each time.
    1) I didn't much touch the BIOS setting first. Just tried to boot with the settings BIOS came with.
    2) Next I disabled the integrated audio, LAN and IEE1394 devices and floppy drive and disabled all other choises except the SATA drive as a boot device.
    3) Next I tried with the fail-safe BIOS defaults.
    4) Cleared CMOS.
    5) Changed OnChip SATA type from Native IDE to Legacy IDE. (Only one boot attempt with the setting as Legacy.)
    6) Disabled PCI IDE BusMaster.
    7) Never touched anything in the Cell Menu: so the settings are in minimum.
    A step I have taken after the last attempt: run Windows XP hard drive error-checking tool to every logical drive with the fix option selected, and the system drive also with scan the bad sectors option selected.
    My plans next are:
    1) to install a newer Hyperion driver. If that would correct the no-unistallation-choice-bug,
    2) to disable USB-devices in the BIOS (desperate),
    3) to choose the Windows general video display driver (although I seriously doubt this is a display driver problem!).
    4) to uninstall the Anti-Virus software (Avira Antivir).
    I've read a numerous Web pages so far about the 0x0000007B stop error. Here are some links:

    http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/knowledge_base/
    Stop 0x0000007B or INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
    This Stop message, also known as Stop 0x7B, indicates that Windows XP Professional lost access to the system volume or boot volume during the startup process. This error always occurs while the system is starting and is often caused by one of the following:
        * Hardware problems
        * Corrupted or incompatible storage drivers
        * File system problems
        * Boot sector viruses
        * Outdated firmware
    During I/O system initialization, this error can occur when:
        * The controller or driver for the startup device (typically the hard disk) failed to initialize the necessary hardware.
        * File system initialization failed because the system did not recognize the data on the boot device.

    You may receive a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message if there is a resource conflict between the boot controller and another controller or between SCSI devices. You may also receive this Stop error message if drive translation is not being performed or if drive translation was changed. To troubleshoot this issue:
    1.   If an IRQ or I/O port address conflict exists between the boot controller and another controller, Windows XP either stops responding (hangs) or displays a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message. If you recently added new hardware, remove the new hardware or reconfigure it so that it does not conflict with the resources of any other installed controllers.
    2.   If you are using a SCSI hard disk, check the SCSI chain for correct termination. Remove any unused SCSI devices or make sure that each SCSI ID is unique.
    3.   Make sure that drive translation is turned on (if it is required) and that it has not been changed. For example, if you recently switched controllers, this issue may occur.

    SYMPTOMS
    When you start your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer after you replace the motherboard on the computer, you may receive a Stop error message that is similar to the following:
    STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE
    CAUSE
    This issue may occur if the new motherboard contains an embedded IDE controller that has a different chipset than the original motherboard.
    RESOLUTION
    Method 1: Perform an in-place upgrade of Windows XP [<- That means repair installation of Windows XP]
    •   Do not use a repair or in-place upgrade if you suspect disk problems.
    Method 2: Repartition and format your hard disk and reinstall Windows XP

    Alright I got the situation over.

    My plans next are:
    1) to install a newer Hyperion driver. If that would correct the no-unistallation-choice-bug,
    2) to disable USB-devices in the BIOS (desperate),
    3) to choose the Windows general video display driver (although I seriously doubt this is a display driver problem!).
    4) to uninstall the Anti-Virus software (Avira Antivir).
    I did try all all the above, and none of them helped.
    And by the way: after installing the new Hyperion (VIA chipset drivers), I was finally able to also uninstall. It also uninstalled the IDE SATA (I think) and PATA drivers.
    But what I had to do, was to make a REPAIR installation of Windows XP.
    So, I was wondering now afterwards: this is really, really silly. Why the hell we need to re-install Windows if we move the SYSTEM SATA drive to another computer? We don't have similar problem with parallel IDE drives. Whom should we thank here??
    The issue is to insert the driver files and the information of the ide drivers Windows should use with the next boot. How can it be this difficult?
    What you basically need is..
    - the information about the new chipset's PCIIDE.SYS/[VENDOR_PROVIDED_FILE].SYS and ATAPIIDE.SYS inserted into the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetXXX\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase
    - and the vendor's IDE drivers to the %SYSTEMROOT%/System32/drivers folder.
    Maybe something else, I don't know. But the problem was, Windows didn't know how, or what drivers to use. That can't be so big problem you need to install the whole OS anew!

  • Problem with NEO2 and sata controller card

    1.Product Type: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (MS-7025)
    and the controller card is a InnoVision DM-8301 and the hard drive is a Seagate ST3320620AS
    2.BIOS version: The newest one, 1C0 or something.
    3.External VGA Type: Geforce 6800 GT
    4.CPU Type: AMD 64 3500+
    5.Memory Type: G Skill ZX 2048mb.
    6.Power Supply Type:
    7.Operating System: Xp Pro
    8.Problem Description:
    Hello. I have a strange problem with my controllercard. I wrote this text to InnoVision suport and they send me files and bios updates for a whole week and it was still the same problem. And then i tried the card in an older computer and everything worked fine.
    I wrote
    "Hello. I got some problems with my new controller card. I can find my new harddrive ,that's conected to the controller card, when iam inside windows and it's seems to be no problem. I can look on every seting on it and everywhere i look i can read "No problem". I Also did some test with the seatools programe and everything was fine. But when i schould copy files to it the coumputer start lagging after a few seconds and i cant do anything. After a while i can move the mouse around but the it laggs again. My computer is overclocked at the time but i have tried to use the harddrive when it's not clocked also. Also when im goin in to teh controlpanel and starts the setings for Sillicon Images sata controll and have music on my computer, the music laggs for a very very short moment. Something must be wrong and i can not find it."
    It's still the same problem in my computer. The older computer had a MSI moderboard with a VIA chip and i have a nForce 3. InnoVison said i should talk to you about this problem. I have 3 harddrives but i use this controllercard because i want to have my computer overclocked and then i can't use 2 of the sata ports as i think you know.
    I would be very thankful if you could help me with this problem.

    I've used a noname SATA pci card (non raid) with SIL3112 on my neo2 without problems with 1C bios.
    Think you may try with a disk lower than 48bitLBA need (137GB barrier), eg a 120GB disk
    Quote:
     have the InnoVision EIO DM-8301 and had alot of problems using it with WD 160MB SATA drive.
    I am using Intel 865 based MB with 2 original SATA channels. The original SATA channels are bootable.
    I could not used the EIO card with 160G HDD. The whole setup is working only after I connected oine of my 120G Segate SATA HDD to the EIO Sata card.
    I think this card do not properly support HDD above 120G.

    Btw: you have xp sp2 ?
    48bitLBA is not enabled in the first version.

    Edit:
    Here's another with complete different setup and same problems
    http://forum.tweakxp.com/forum/Topic212148-4-1.aspx
    I doubt it has anything to do with your motherboard and/or bios.
    Btw: I looked at innovision and their drivers in download area are very old.
    Get the latest SIL3112 drivers for XP here:
    http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=63&cid=3&ctid=2&osid=4&
    And remember 3112 is sata150 only , so it's not sure it will work with your drive at all .
    Anyway it should be set to fixed sata1.5G with jumper - not certain the controller can autonegotiate
    without trouble. You cannot have command queing enabled either , disk support only NCQ and controller TCQ
    so having command queing set ON will cause major conflicts in data transfers.
