Well, you are probably right, it is probably just an ide controller, i have an acer laptop (tm5720) and to make work the hd the driver ahci was required, and my patch made work the dvd-rw too. If so, maybe some other delegate is better for this controller than "ich8_sata_ahci", but please consider that i am very ignorant about this driver and i simply posted this patch beacuse it made work my device. If there is any test that i can do to sort out this just let me know. On 6/17/07, Michal Piotrowski <michal.k.k.piotrowski@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
