From: Jurgen Kramer To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain Organization: Message-Id: <1054932405.2156.5.camel@paragon.slim> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.2.2 (1.2.2-5) Date: 06 Jun 2003 22:46:45 +0200 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 794 Lines: 22 Hi, I've read somewhere that the SATA controllers are backward compatible with PATA controllers. Does this mean that a SATA controller can be used with standard PATA drivers (especially the Intel ICH5)? I have got an shiny new motherboard with SATA and a ditto SATA harddrive just sitting unrecognized by a 2.4.20 kernel. The PATA part of my Asus P4C800 D with my DVD-ROM on it is recognized nicely, the SATA part however doesn't show. Is there a way around this (like with IDEx=)? I'd really like to have linux on my new box...
