Yeah, that's the right one. But if you are technically apt, then perhaps you could try a brief experiment for us: Use drivers/ide instead, and see what it reports in the boot log. One simple way to do this, is to boot a Knoppix CD, say v5.01 or so (but not the newest version, which probably uses libata instead). Then just grab the boot log with dmesg, and post it here. Thanks
