Compatibility: AW8-MAX & Adaptec 29160 SCSI Card

egd · 11-12-2005, 04:17 AM

Hi

I'm running an Abit AW8-MAX with all SATA and ATA ports utilised, none in any raid configuration. The ATA channel is powering an 80GB boot drive and the SATA channels each power a SATA HDD.

I have tried to install an Adaptec 29160 SCSI Card to drive my tape backup unit, however, the machine won't boot with this card installed unless I disconnect the drives on SATA 5 & 6 (ie on the On board Silicon Image PCIE SATA 3G RAID controller).

I have noticed that when looking in the Bios settings at boot order for hard drives, the drives on SATA 5 & 6 show up as SCSI 0 & 1 respectively - possibly the cause of conflict with the card?

Has anyone else encountered this or managed to overcome it? I am so sick of screwing around with PC's I can scream, just once I'd like to pop something in a box and just have it work without all the incessant f*cking around to get things going.
