Hi,
I have similar issue with onboard Promise S150TX4 (Entry Server Board
SE7210TP1-E)
If i remember correctly this controller TX4 sould be supported?This board
includes Adaptec
2 port serial ata RAID controller ( configured correctly) but unfortunately it
won't boot from 120GB SATA drives.
Greetings
