Can you provide a boot log from that for Tejun? Too true.. thanks Tejun, Jeff and Alan also.. much appreciated.. I did try the legacy driver but couldn't get it to be detected at all. I wasn't sure how to modify it (ide/pci/piix.c) to add the right PCI-ID but am happy to get Tejun the dmesg if you can tell me how I derive the PCI-ID for my hardware and where to add it. Also because this is IDE via SATA, when disabling the libata drivers do I need to enable the old "Support for SATA" compile option to get the device to be detected? - 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
