Topic: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

Stuck at "starting windows" in blue screen setup.

Switching from AHCI to plain IDE mode in the BIOS allows the unattended setup to continue (bypasses the need to use mass storage drivers).

Never had this problem before using DP MS. Intel D945GTP motherboard on a 74GB raptor, been using this config for dozens of unattended installations with Bâshrat the Sneaky DriverPacks, never a problem until now.

Here is the DPsFnshr.log on a machine with AHCI disabled (IDE mode):

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

Hello!

The same prob in topic i just started! ICH7R and AHCI mode and new seagate w/NCQ   NOT working sad WXP w/MSDP didnt see the HDD.   But in Standart SATA - WXP installing normally.

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

Should be related with this one:

http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=678

(ICH7 on ASUS P2W, just RAID instead of AHCI, otherwise exactly the same symptoms)

CONFIRMED: The latest storage manager boot disk drivers, 6.1.0.1002, can NOT boot off ICH7R in ACHI mode! This was tested on a manual F6 install of XP SP2 without any driver packs or unattended stuff.

The lastest F6 mode driver approved for my particular 945G board, the D945GTP, is the old 5.5.0.1035 stuff from 11/05. This driver does indeed work and is able to access the HD in XP setup. http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts … bmit=Go%21

I will now go through the previous drivers released before 6.1.0.1002, to see which is the latest one that works properly with ICH7R in ACHI mode and will also report the bug to intel. I consider this a bug because even though my particular 945G board lists an older driver to use, the latest 6.1.0.1002 states that it supports ICH7R in ACHI and that should work as advertised!

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts … bmit=Go%21
6.0.0.1002 - FAILED
5.7.0.1011 - FAILED
5.5.0.1035 - works (note: this one is packaged differently than the same version number offered specifically for their desktop boards)

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

Warning
You will not believe this!

...

It turns out that your HWID (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C0) is simply not supported by the DriverPack Sound B. That's why it's not recognized. Ok, no problem, my bad I'll fix it.... but that's not true. It's not my bad: the 5.5.0.1035 driver, of which you say that it works, simply does not support your device! From the .inf files:

So my question to you is: does it also automatically install this driver in Windows? And not only if you force this driver thanks to textmode setup?

P.S.: your HWID is not referenced in the latest driver either!

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

The reason why the driver is not reported, I think, is because the system was installed in IDE mode, not AHCI. When installing in AHCI mode, a separate driver is installed and is listed as
ICH7R/DH - 82801GR/GH (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106)

the 27C0 is used when in IDE mode and is either a default XP driver or somewhere else in DP MS.

Here is a HWID of a working D945GTP based PC that was installed in ACHI mode with a previous Bâshrat the Sneaky DP / RyanVM unattended CD:

The solution for me at least was DISABLE AHCI mode in the BIOS and revert to simple IDE mode. That is wholly unacceptable as I have deployed dozens of ICH7R-based desktops using intel's SATA F6 mode drivers in AHCI mode without any problem until these last few releases. Poo poo on intel!

Did you already contact them in order to make them aware of the problem?

Just wondering.

Obviously, this is an unaccpetable solution but if they don't know they can't fix it smile

I certainly have opened a ticket with Intel support about this issue, going into the same amount of detail as I have in this thread. My initial response was expectedly an insipid piece of generic pablum from a level-1 tech, not acknowledging whatsoever any problem and wanting me to double check if I indeed selected 82801GR SATA from the F6 menu in setup (of course I did).

We'll see if anything of substance comes back in reply from Intel after my response back.

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

Hi

I'll be... when I read this, I decided to change BIOS settings in my testrig, and set it to AHCO
(it had previously been set to RAID, and ran from a SATAraid array. ITE Raid has also worked...)

anyhow, this GA8i945Pro motherboard will let setup see the drive, formats it, copies files, and reboots to the DVD, to launch setup all over again...

I think I'll dig up my ITE/IASTOR floppy (they are combined on the floppy) and run setup from a holographed SP2. the files come from the CDROM Gigabyte provided.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Which version of the IASTOR driver?

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

will look, just got home from work.
I verified these files did come from the CDROM. (sfx image extraction to fresh floppy.)

they match with the files I put on the F6 floppy when I combined ITERAID and IASTOR on one floppy.

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

hmmm
I'll try get the older version at intel... albeit Gigabyte's is still older?

edit, I still know my way around over there... got the file pretty quick
but... it says 5.5.1035 which you say is good?
where did the newer ones come from?

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

hi
5.5.1035 is worse than my old one
it does not even get to formatting... setup won't see the satadrives nor an array.
(I should look wether the array is still an array...)
non combined, ditto. no drives seen.

definately not a Bâshrat the Sneaky error...
just got the newest F6 image using the links posted above.

this must be an old gripe with many...

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

OK, so you couldn't get v6.XXX of the F6 drivers to work either then?

I think I may need a few of you to send Intel support a support request on this issue as well since they think my case is an isolated incident.

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

Hi Fragbert

it is currently running setup with version 6.xxx floppy

it wouldn't see the drive, at first.
but, then I followed up on the suspicion I had.
went into RAID configuration. (BIOS)

to get to the intel BIOS setup screens, I had to disable ITEraid in BIOS(Gigabyte mobo calls it GiGaRaid)
then, I had to set the intel chip to RAID to be able to delete the array.

Then I set it to AHCI
(not in a RAID config, at the moment)
and V6xxxx did allow me to access the now blanco drives
we'll see how it reboots in ten minutes...

edit; it is not an intel mobo, but I could report at intel as it does have an intel chipset ...
setup asked me for the windows key (next time I will use a semi-unattended)

edit 2; windows loaded on a single drive

next thing I will try is to set up the drives in RAID array while in AHCI

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

Hi
next thing I tried was to set up the drives in RAID array while in AHCI
AND THAT CANNOT BE DONE.


summary of the event.
when changed from RAID setting to AHCI when the RAID had been used to run an array...
Then the drives were still member disks of an array,
OLD version... setup would see the combined size, format the old array, and when reboot happened, drive was not seen.
NEWER version
the array not seen, period.

exit AHCI.
I want the speed of an array.

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

So basically when you ran the thing in AHCI mode, you would need to disable the ITE RAID controller? That ITE controller is really starting to piss me off... it's caused problems in the past too!

Could you verify that workaround, Fragbert?

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

Hi Wim
yes, to get to the RAID setup utility for my INTEL ICH7R chip, I had to disable ITEraid.
(otherwise I would not get the CTRL-I option during boot. It would only show CTRL-G for Gigabyte aka ITEraid)

with AHCI, there is no CTRL-I option at all, and after deleting the array, the two non-member SATA drives are still connected.
Setup used one of them.

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

Hi Wim
NO, ITE does not have to be disabled in BIOS to run on the AHCI
(I hope it is useful that I learned that I had to disable it to get access to intel raid setup)

edit; and I think the intel mobo does not have the ITE raid chip...

edit 2;
I also learned that if one wants to change to AHCI while a RAID array has been in use, one must first delete the array... Not exactly data friendly.

ITE is irrelevent, it's not on my board.

My problem is on a vanilla D945GTP intel retail board. It only has ICH7R, nothing else.

Re: [SOLVED] cannot boot from ICH7R in AHCI mode

in mass storage driverpack, intel folder = IN

D\M\IN\1\O has Version 5.5.0.1035
its parent folder D\M\IN\1\ has 6.1.0.1002

Version 6 has this section
[ControlFlags]
ExcludeFromSelect=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104
ExcludeFromSelect=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C6&CC_0104
ExcludeFromSelect=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104
ExcludeFromSelect=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104
ExcludeFromSelect=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104

but after that all these devices do get a section...

thinking aloud.
set BIOS to use AHCI...
if these are new hard drives, they should always be seen and be usable

if these were previously set up in RAID array, they should not get seen at all.
(I actually think this is BEST. One is forced to look at this, and has to decide to delete the array, and the data on it. The old one that Gigabyte provided, 5.0.0.1032, saw wrong size, killed the data, then failed.)

just an observation.
in the new box I fired up this morning, the BIOS default settings for all three chips is RAID.
A large percentage of end users never look at BIOS settings, let alone change them..
I think AHCI does not give any speed benefit.
when the chip is set to RAID , it does not have to have member disks in an array. They can all be independant disks.

one of the tings I will try is set one up on iastor in AHCI, then change setting to RAID, and see wether it boots.
