Can all SATA controllers be run in IDE mode? If not, how can one know which SATA controller supports the mode?
Not all SATA controllers can be run in this mode. That's why I set 'IDE_TO_AHCI' default to disable. I only confirm it's working with AMD's SATA controller.
Okay. In that case, I think it would be better to detect the vendor/device ids that can be supported instead of adding a new config option.
