I'm having problems getting my Dell Inspiron 9300 to see my DVD-RW as a SATA device (/dev/sdb[x]) instead of a IDE device (/dev/hdb[x]). This seriously impedes performance of the drive. Having done a little searching around the Internet (what a tool!) it appears the problem may be that both the ide and ata_piix drivers are included in the kernel as modules and that this results in the ata_piix driver installing before the ide driver and as such the DVD-RW drive is then seen as an IDE device. It's suggested that the ide driver be compiled into the kernel so that is installs first which results in the ata_piix driver then picking up the DVD-RW drive and getting it Right(TM). Can someone interpret what I'm saying (;-]) and then comment on how these two drivers are included in the kernel and whether or not this might affect the outcomes. Alternatively, can someone suggest another fix for this. R. -- "It's a fine line between denial and faith.
