Post subject: Boot from Sil-3112 controller when there's another

The board's an ABIT KV7-V with a VIA KT-600 chipset. There's an
onboard SATA (Sil-3112 controller) RAID , which is the boot drive
(striped).
I've added another SATA drive (for backup) using a Vantec Serial ATA
PCI host card (don't have an IDE drive available). The mainboard BIOS
does not seem to be able to recognize the RAID boot drive when this
new SATA drive is connected.
Both SCSI drives do not appear together in either the BIOS hard drive
boot order setting, or the (preBIOS?) boot drive menu. This means
there's no way to tell the machine which drive to boot to. It always
prefers the PCI connected drive if both are connected and doesn't list
the RAID array in either boot order utility.
I can leave the PCI drive disconnected until boot and then plug it
it. This way all is fine. Any way to get the bios to recognize the
onboard SATA RAID array first when the PCI card is connected? |

I'll check. Thanks for your help. |

Does your bios have a "boot other device" option enabled. If so, try
disabling that. >> Stay informed about: Boot from Sil-3112 controller when there's another |

No luck there. Don't all SATA PCI cards use the Silicon Image chipset? >> Stay informed about: Boot from Sil-3112 controller when there's another |

I think the problem is that both the card and the onboard SATA are using the
same Sil-3112 controller drivers.
I seem to remember running across a post where they had the same problem and
Sil tech support basically said that was the problem.
I would suggest maybe taking that Vantec back and trying to find a Card that
does not use the Sil chipset.
