====== Mainboard Abit AL8 ======

Using the **On-Chip SATA Controller** in he **Combined mode**, you can mix PATA and SATA disks on the same system. Linux detects both controllers (using ''**piix**'' and ''**ata_piix**'' moules), but with some limitation. First of all DMA is disabled on the PATA disk: ''**using_dma = 0 (off)**''.

In this condition Xen domains do not start.
