Hi,

The SATA interface can be switched between AHCI and legacy modes as usual:

00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family SATA
Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 02)

The device attached to the SATA controller is always a CF card via a
SiI3811 Serial ATA to Parallel ATA Device Bridge based converter board.

Can you please attach a normal sata disk and try again with the
controller set to AHCI mode? I suspect it may be the SiI3811 bridge that
caused this command.

Thanks,
Aaron

Unfortunately, there's no way for me to open the box at the moment.
This particular computer is very compact and the screws are very tight.
All the interesting devices are sealed behind its touchscreen.

But: how comes that by using the ata_piix, the SUSPEND IMMEDIATE
ATA command succeeds? Is it sent at all using the legacy mode?

Thanks,
Zoltán Böszörményi
