Martin,
Ok, using Ubuntu-8.04-AMD64 to run these commands.
The BIOS allows for three settings on the SATA controller: IDE, RAID and
AHCI.
For "dmesg | grep pci" I got this for IDE mode:
ACPI: bus type pci registered
pci 0000:00:12.0: set SATA to AHCI mode
PCI: If a device doesn't work, try "pci=routeirq". If it helps, post a
report
Allocate Port Service[0000:00:07.0:pcie00]
pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5
and this for RAID and AHCI modes:
ACPI: bus type pci registered
PCI: If a device doesn't work, try "pci=routeirq". If it helps, post a
report
Allocate Port Service[0000:00:07.0:pcie00]
pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5
(so the only difference is that in IDE mode, Linux is telling me I should
use AHCI mode instead. The message goes away in RAID/AHCI modes.)
For LSPCI, I got this for IDE and AHCI modes:

(the only difference is the fourth line, 00:12.0 SATA controller versus
RAID controller)
Next steps:
I have burned the "i386 Fedora 7 install DVD" and "Debian 4.0-r3 net
install CD" and will try those out on this hardware. Since I have
not yet installed any other software, now is the time to make sure this
hardware platform will accomodate all of the different options.
I will discontinue trying to setup mode=RAID on the BIOS. I will
experiment with installs on AHCI and IDE only. If we do mirroring,
it would probably be LVM2 mirroring through the software, something like
this:
/dev/sda1 ---- /boot
/dev/sda2 --- swap1
/dev/sda3 --- LVM2 mirror
/dev/sdb1 --- copy of /boot (perhaps using dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sda2,
via cron)
/dev/sdb2 -- swap2
/dev/sdb3 -- LVM2 mirror
The latest "sys rescue cd 1.03" seems to handle both i386 and AMD64 and
has LVM2 support.
