Hello Sven, the sata_sis does not really supports PATA-ports. The driver must be modified. A good solution would be to move the SiS180/964 support to pata_sis because the PATA code is much longer then the SATA code. Only some lines must be added to the pata_sis, to support the SATA ports. But actually it does not work. Because you are only using the PATA port, you can make a private solution, move the PCI-ID 180 from sata_sis.c to sis5513.c or pata_sis.c dependend on the ide driver you want to use. The SiS180 has no hardware RAID functionality, It is only a BIOS based software raid. The SiS180 is a combined SATA/PATA controller. I will try a patch for this issue. regards, Uwe Koziolek Sven Ladegast wrote: > Hello Uwe, > > I am having problems to access a hard drive connected to a SIS180 > SATA-RAID controller. > > The controller is located on my mainboard (Elitegroup KV2 extreme). > There is only one hard disk drive connected to the PATA port od the > controller.
