The bios I am working on is Phoenix, I was able to add a "PATA+SATA id control" menu to the bios.
This menu let's you select the PATA SATA pair for chipset sis 968, no matter what one selects, the bios reverts to 5513+1183 after saving and exiting, this means IDE + SATA in ide emulation mode.
AFAIK the 968 chipset is perfectly able of RAID and AHCI however maybe this menu I added doesn't really change anything in the bios.
I was wondering maybe there's a way to set the correct pair by hardcoding it in the bios with an hex editor, some bits maybe, hence forcing the IDE+SATA AHCI or IDE+SATA RAID mode.
Does anyone have an idea? Is it an option rom problem? I saw there are RAID and AHCI option roms for Phoenix, could this be the problem? Adding the rom?
