it does support ahci controllers. =A0vbox causes problems for a lot o= f oses,
and that's probablly a bigger project.

i'm going to guess this is a power management issue. =A0the ahci driver=
was written before the standard, and thus has been a little slow in
catching up.

could you try downloading 9atom, which is quite close to the distribution (= http://ftp.quanstro.net/other/9atom.iso.bz2)? =A0it has a few power
management wiggles that may fix your issue.
