Initio 1620 SATA Controller not supported in Recovery Manager?
Hi,
I just bought a SATA PCI card with Initio 1620 Controller. Unfortunately I discovered that both the Recovery Manager and the Rescue Media did not list the drive connected to the SATA PCI card.
Before buying, I made sure Linux does support the Chip so the Recovery Manager and Rescue Media can use drives connected to it. I tried with both True Image 11 and TrueImage Home 2009 (full, registered Versions).
The Rescue Media was build and burned on a Windows PC and it also contains the Disk Director 10 rescue Media (which unfortunately is pretty outdated in regard to driver support).
I did find another thread which explained that there is an ISO image for download with a Rescue Media image. This indeed does contain the neccessary Linux support for the Initio INIC1620 controller and the drives are shown.
But: I'd like to have the driver also available in the RecoveryManager and in the RescueMedia that contains both DiskDirector and True Image.
Can you please provide an update to the Products installed on Windows so the Recovery Manager and freshly build rescue media will contain the driver?
Btw., why is there a difference in the rescue media / recovery manager compared to the downloadable ISO?
I have seen the post about trying to copy the kernel.dat and ramdrive.dat from the downloaded ISO to the Windows partition. Personally, I think playing around with internals of a product like this would be ok if the product is open source. But I have paid for it and expect this to be provided by Acronis through a product update.
The controller identification from Windows device manager:
PCI\VEN_1101&DEV_1622&SUBSYS_16221101&REV_02\3&61AAA01&0&40
