You can install the Intel Matrix driver after "adjusting" the inf file...
Hmm, I guess a good question is: Why should I have to edit the inf file?
Is it an issue of them making it only install if your hardware is
already set to ahci mode? But how am I supposed to boot and install the
driver until I have the driver installed then. Well I might try that
next time I go there.
How stupid of intel.
No doubt part of the Wintel (intel + Microsoft) strategy to perpetually
break non-windows platforms with new incompatible
hardware like the switch over from the e1000 MT adapters to e1000 GT
which are not backward compatible with the older chipsets.
I still have not seen the GT adapter work correctly off windows.
