I confirm this bug in sb/ahci driver packages 12.1 & 12.2 (AHCI driver version 1.2.001.0321 vs 1.2.001.0327), 11.12(AHCI ver 1.2.001.0317) and earlier not bug.

This bug in amd_sata.inf. I fixed it. Try this: http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=383&threadid=158975&enterthread=y

Did anyone tried the 12.3 AHCI driver?

Did AMD fixed it or we have to fix it manually again?

Well I must confirm the the problem remains.

I booted at IDE mode and changed the registry error in order to boot again at AHCI mode.

12.3s work 100% here ..

It will surely BSOD to those affected, this line remains the same:

HKR, "Parameters\Device","AmdSataPMDisabled",%REG_DWORD%, 0

this wasn't changed back to 0xFF on the *.inf files present on 12-3_vista_win7_32-64_sb\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\SB7xx\AHCI

Gr33nGecko, everybody here and at vgaforum appreciates your continuous work and I'm sure you'll surely deal with a fair amount of user stupidity every day. But the issue here surely exists with *some* motherboards, mostly based on SB7XX and nothing more recent. Most probably, the blame is on the manufacturers side due to a bad bios PM implementation, but this only had a chance to manifest itself since the aforementioned change in drivers after a long time.

It's not because it doesn't affect yours, or the systems you install this ahci  driver to, that makes this a non existent problem. If you hadn't problems before since this *.inf change was made (starting 12.1 when the standalone ahci package became included in the sb package and so on) , it surely won't start affecting you now.

Any user with half a brain will be able to change this inf/registry, or simply use an older driver because there's no need to update sb drivers every month. Petty performance differences shouldn't matter, as fortunately TRIM support was enabled some time ago. The problem is mostly with newer users with affected boards starting their OS fresh with newer drivers without this knowledge, and this is something AMD can address by reverting that setting back to what has been during years.

 

Ah, I never said that it was a non-existent problem though .. there's a difference ..

If you tell users that 12.3 are working fine (despite never having the problem before on your system), those who check this thread and are most likely to bsod with the two previous versions for this same cause, might assume it was corrected for their system, which unfortunately isn't the case.

Don't take it personally, but in a previous thread by el_arantis you've claimed there was nothing to fix. Hence my interpretation of your previous post.

Cheers!

Confirm bug remain. just a version 1.2.001.0327. amd suck.

Well.... 12.4 and the problem remains.... are they so blind?

This is an EPIC FAIL!

I feel sorry for users who do not know many things about pcs and they cannot boot...  

Same on you AMD

I have a problem with Windows 7 32-bit, Catalyst 12.4 and an MSI 790GX-G65 motherboard.

I don't get a BSOD under Windows 7, but I get an issue when I put the computer into standby.

When I resume from standby, two of my HDDs don't show up, not even in device manager. I have to do a full shut-down and cold boot to be able to see them again.


I was previously using the AHCI drivers from MSI's website.

Revision History

What about 12.6 AHCI driver? Still bugged?

Yes yes... AHCI is still a problem concerning 7xx chipset but you can make a modification with notepad and install it without problems.

1- run sb driver package to extract, but don't install.
2- find the location your file amd_sata.inf, example my mobo sb750 with win7 is: x:\AMD\support\12-2_vista_win7_32-64_sb\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\SB7xx\AHCI\W764A
3- Edit amd_sata.inf, find the line 

HKR, "Parameters\Device","AmdSataPMDisabled",%REG_DWORD%, 0

and change it to

HKR, "Parameters\Device","AmdSataPMDisabled",%REG_DWORD%, 0xFF

Run the extracted setup file and install everything, you will be asked if you want to go on with installation because we edited the file but answer yes and let it finish.

 

I you have installed it and cannot boot, boot at IDE mode and go to regedit.

Then find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\amd_sata\Parameters\Device\AmdSataPMDisabled"=dword:000000ff
and change it from 0 to 0xff restart, change from IDE to AHCI in Bios and everything is OK

Sounds good, I will try it!

Thanks!!!

 

Just to add, in regedit if you are inputting 0xFF in decimal it'll be 255.

What about 12.8 ahci drivers? Any good news for SB7xx owners? Working without editing inf?

Gigabyte just released a new beta BIOS (F9b) for my MA-790XT-UD4P that updates the AMD AHCI ROM to 3.1.0.0.  The previous BIOS had 3.0.1540.59.

I'm wondering if the ROM update fixes the recent AHCI driver issues, but before I test it (and potentially have to system restore): Has anyone else noticed if they get the BSOD with this AHCI ROM version 3.1.0.0 or later?
