Somebody else may help with the libata issue. 848A is the preferred configuration value The use of 044A is also allowed in the case of it being non-removable. Guess someone got muddled up in the middle. 844A is a bit iffy and it should still be detectable as Word 83 bit 2 should be set ? As to the old IDE (not libata ?) issue - I suspect a convertor without DMA support as a first guess.
