Considering getting an i7 based quad core system, IVY Bridge.
Anyone running Haiku on an IVY Bridge based intel i7?

Hi,
So far same trouble, impossible from bootloader do detect ivy bridge sata controler… So impossible to mount any volume from harddisk or even DVD…
Something has to be done to add support for this chipset sata controler.
Where is the source code to patch (maybe a stupid question, but have not look for any source until now)? Some back port patching from GNU/Linux kernel source can be done…
Look a little about haiku kernel code, looks so simple compare to GNU/Linux platform PCIe SATA drivers… seems to lack lot of platform support…
From here, I have to stuck with those platform info :

Interetesting tech info…
The matter is not Ivy Bridge intel support but the SATA implementation made by your motherboard manufacturer, what is the SATA AHCI controler chip on yours?
I think it is maybe just detection issue for this new platform id (don’t know hexcode to look for, need to look on linux device to get it…)… Maybe just as simple as this…
PS : Some question for Haiku project
1 - The tree organization is a bit strange (why to put arch things for SATA PCIe in pci_fixup…)?
2 - Lot of different License are put as his inside, are you sure not to break any licenses rules… (MIT License for example, i don’t this one…).
