It's trivial and it works. I own a motherboard that contains the VT8237A SATA controller, and I've tested the patch with Fedora Core 5, Fedora Core 6 test 2, and current Fedora Core rawhide (2.6.18rc4-git1). I'm receiving personal requests for assistance in getting kernels to recognize and boot from the 8237A, and it would really help if the patch were applied. If there's something wrong with the patch, or if you'd rather receive it from a more trusted source, just say so and I'll comply. Any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Jay
