Hello, I found a description on how to make the following device functional in Linux at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42804 My adapter is a USB 3.0/S-ATA 6g controller which shows up as follows (after patching kernel 3.2.17 as distributed by Debian): $ lspci -v 04:00.0 USB Controller: Device 1b21:1040 (prog-if 30) Subsystem: Device 174c:2104 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 Memory at d2100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd 05:00.0 IDE interface: Device 1b21:0611 (rev 01) (prog-if 85 [Master SecO PriO]) Subsystem: Device 1b21:1060 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 51 I/O ports at 5020 [size=8] I/O ports at 5014 [size=4] I/O ports at 5018 [size=8] I/O ports at 5010 [size=4] I/O ports at 5000 [size=16] Memory at d2200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: ahci Therefore I wanted to ask someone to please apply the attached patch. Like the original author, Hiroaki Nito, I've had good experience using this patch with my card, a Delock 89299. The patch fixes, from my incomplete understanding, the fact that the device "lies" about its capabilities, by presenting itself as an IDE device when in fact it's an AHCI controller. I hope this completes the process. Which, from my investigation of the email archive, Hiroaki Nito started, but did not follow through because the advice to follow Documentation/SubmittingPatches was given much later. Regards, Thomas Jahns P.S.: I'm not subscribed to either linux-ide or linux-kernel. So, if this patch is still insufficient to be included, please email me directly. -- Thomas Jahns DKRZ GmbH, Department: Application software Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum Bundesstraße 45a D-20146 Hamburg Phone: +49-40-460094-151 Fax: +49-40-460094-270 Email: Thomas Jahns <jahns@xxxxxxx>
