Maybe I should implement working with all ahci controllers, not only first one.

I too would appreciate that

I have for example some PCI add-on cards that would otherwise give trouble, and probably some untested hardware with multiple AHCI controllers as well

Do you going to implement it in near future? If not, I'll start work on it.

I’m busy at the university now, so I have no time. So yes, you can work on it.

Btw, does the old driver from Serge working on your PC?

I couldn't generate device list with Devman for Serge's driver.

I mean /kolibrios/drivers/achi/

#9219 use name sdX instead of hdX for AHCI SATA drives
Motivatios:
1. easier to understand drive is IDE or SATA.
2. fix issue: http://bugs.kolibrios.org/view.php?id=143

Finally, today I started work on improving AHCI driver. Now it works with 5 controllers well in QEMU. Each controller has disk with 1 FAT partition. But it doesn't work on my PC yet,so I keep working. Probably tomorrow, I'll share test image.

Great news!

First version, support up to 8 disks (tested only 5). It works in my case.
Test image

Next steps:

• Clean code
• Dynamic allocate memory for founded disks

8 disks or controllers?

Need to double check, but probably yes, you are right. 8 controllers. I tested with 8 controllers, and each controller has 1 disk.

I remembered. Now, limit is 8 disks and 8 controllers. Because I allocated memory for 8 controllers, and limited counter to 8 disks.

Could someone test FS speed with same disk in AHCI and IDE compatibility mode?
I don't have any PC with IDE mode.
