Intel 6300ESB SATA150 cannot find disk or boot under 6.3

Sat Oct 4 06:22:05 UTC 2008

It is good to know this problem is larger then just me. It is a real issue
in that I cannot begin to use the new port tools using 6.1. This exposes
me to current and future security risks unless and until this problem is
resolved. I don't know if the developers can determine how much risk there
is out there but at least we know it is larger then 1. Anything I can do
to help expedite this I will do.

Thanks,
Greg
