Subject: Kernel config question on Hitachi HTS541080G9SA00, Intel 945pm Express, SATA drive on Dell e1505 Inspiron

Message-ID: <873b8mrcmm.fsf@corps.glidepath.invalid> (raw)
Hi,
Is it currently possible to configure a linux kernel to directly
(without an initrd image) boot from a Hitachi HTS541080G9SA00 drive
which I believe is a SATA-I serial ATA drive. I believe my machine is
using an Intel 945pm chipset to drive the hard drive.
I think the setup should use the AHCI driver in libata, but I have
tried a variety of permutations with no success so far. (like
2.6.19-rcx)
The box currently boots a Debian Sarge distribution (kernel 2.6.8)
using an hda ide disk configuration (as opposed to an sda), but I need
a more recent kernel version to get drivers for other devices working.
Thanks for any help and suggestions,
Marc
