Looking at the description of the drivers I thought that ata_piix would be the correct driver for it. ... support for PATA on the Intel ESB/ICH/PIIX3/PIIX4 series host controllers. Also looking the the comments in ata_piix it looks like my chipset already supports independent timing and therefore ata_piix is the correct driver to use. Please correct me if I am wrong or misunderstood your remarks.
