Subject: [9fans] install failing to detect SATA disk

I'm trying to install Plan9 on my Thinkpad T410. I could boot using the
latest Plan9.iso image and the install process gets to the diskpart step
(the step after the configfs step) and it complains about not seeing any
hard disks.

I have Linux installed in one of the partitions and it shows the following
sata controller

00:1f.2 SATA controller [0106]: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series
Chipset 6 port SATA AHCI Controller [8086:3b2f] (rev 06)

I'm new to Plan 9. Any suggestions on how to debug this issue?

I see two modes for SATA - AHCI and Compatibility. The above behavior is
when SATA is in the AHCI mode. In the Compatibility mode, the install fails
earlier - boots from CD, but can't access it after that.
