HJ, try going to www.amdmb.com and look in the
forums>Motherboards>Asus. And Asus website under
support. Maybe there's a Bios update that takes care of this problem.

work, but... Under Device Manager, SCSI/RAID Controllers, I've got the
yellow question mark by a generic RAID Controller listing (doesn't identify
as the Silicon Image); I know that since I've got only 1 hard drive, I can't
set up a RAID array of any sort (and don't want to at this time). However,
on the Controll Panel, there is a listing for Silicon Image ATA Controllers;
the Properties there on the Device Info tab show [controller Sil 3112
Revision 2, PCI Bus 1, Device 11, IRQ 18 (0x12)]; on the Flash BIOS tab
[nothing; everything shows as "unknown"].

installation (mobo documentation gives the "check under SCSI/RAID Controller
Properties in Device Manager" route--see above, it just shows generic RAID
Controller with the yellow question mark), and to do a reinstall (via the
"update driver" route). Also, an updated driver for this continually shows
up under "Driver Updates" on Windows Update. All to no avail. In fact,
EVERY TIME I've installed/reinstalled/updated this driver, the PC freezes
during WinXP boot (it clears POST on the mobo). I can't find ANY mention of
SATA in the mobo BIOS, but the board supposedly natively supports SATA (thus
the Silicon Image controller on-board). The machine runs fine without this,
but somehow I have the feeling I'm being "cheated" by this not working the
way it would appear it's supposed to.
