Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be detected at all, although I'm not exactly sure which driver you're referring to. I have tried: New ATA drivers: Intel ESB, ICH, PIIX3, PIIX4 PATA/SATA support - is detected but fails Intel PATA MPIIX support - is not detected at all (which I think is right) Intel PATA old PIIX support (Experimental) - is not detected at all (which I think is wrong - it should be) Old ATA/IDE driver: Intel PIIXn chipsets support - is not detected at all (which is right as the bus is SATA) Thanks, - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
