Hi. I don't like to badger open-source developers, but an email from Jeff Garzik (archived at [1]) suggests that it may be worth doing so in my particular situation. [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=114290600200440&w=2 My situation is this: I recently purchased a PC which contains a VIA VT8251 southbridge. As far as I can see, this is not currently supported by Linux, so it seems that (as I have insufficient knowledge to write the code myself) I have no option but to wait until it is. Therefore, I would like to request that the Linux IDE developers implement support for this chipset.
Already went into mainline. v2.6.18-rc3 already includes it. If you're uncomfortable with -rc series, libata-tj-stable patch also has it.
