@Fernando :
I got Intel(R) 8 AHCI working with Windows 2000 on new ASUS Laptop R752LD (see Page 12). I used extended Kernel from blackwingcat. It makes no difference if Intel AHCI 11.2 (modded by Fernando) or Intel AHCI 8.9 (from blackwingcat) are used. The "jumping point" was ACPI. Windows 2000 seems not to understand BIOS, and this can cause setup to hang on "setup is starting windows 2000", before showing the harddisk. From this I followed a problem with iastor. But when hitting "F5" and choosing "Standard PC", iastor works fine, shows the harddisk and installs windows 2000 without problems. Now I would need tools to check if really BIOS is the problem. Can you give advice how to go on?
