For what I've googled, it seems that it is usable both for PATA and for SATA, but I want to be sure. If I'm asking here is because I have SATA support for my VIA chipset enabled in the kernel (CONFIG_SATA_VIA), but I'm getting these messages: sata_via 0000:00:0c.0: version 2.0 sata_via 0000:00:0c.0: routed to hard irq line 10 ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xFE00 ctl 0xFE0A bmdma 0xFA00 irq 10 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xFD00 ctl 0xFD0A bmdma 0xFA08 irq 10 scsi0 : sata_via ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310) >> ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xFE07 scsi1 : sata_via ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310) >> ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xFD07 sata_via 0000:00:0f.0: routed to hard irq line 11 ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF900 ctl 0xF802 bmdma 0xF500 irq 11 ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF700 ctl 0xF602 bmdma 0xF508 irq 11 scsi2 : sata_via ata3: SATA link down 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 0 SControl 300) >> ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xF907 scsi3 : sata_via ata4: SATA link down 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 0 SControl 300) >> ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xF707 Since I don't have any SATA disk on my system, I haven't given any importance to these messages, but now that I want to switch to libata, I'm concerned. I don't understand the marked messages, and I don't know if they have to do with CONFIG_IDE and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX being enabled together with CONFIG_SATA_VIA. My kernel is 2.6.20.18 and my mobo has three PATA busses and four SATA ports (which I think they are ata1-ata4 in the messages above. I don't know why only two of them are marked as 1.5Gbps, according to the mobo manual, all four are 1.5Gbps). Thanks a lot in advance and feel free to ask if you need more information about hardware or software.
