Even if you do that however 2.6.18 and 2.6.28 are somewhat different - sufficiently different it wouldn't build or work. There is a backport of the later ATA code for kernels of that sort of era in RHEL and thus Centos that might be more helpful to you, but its a backport of the entire layer rather than just odd driver bits. Assuming you don't need any of the latest and greatest features however the 2.6.18 ahci driver *ought* to drive the ICH10 SATA controller just fine if you add the idents from 2.6.28 (or the class match for AHCI) to it -- 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
