My situation is similar, but a little different. I would like to boot off a PATA drive attached to the Southbridge, but use libata for a couple SATA drives attached to the same Southbridge. Is this still not possible? I also tried hde/hdg=noprobe options, but they didn't help the situation. It appears the only way to get the drives on sata_via is to boot off of them. Am I correct in thinking this is the only way to go about this? -ryan Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz wrote: >>Is there any chance to use sata_sil with that kernel configuration ? >>Or is recompiling with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE=m or with siimage disabled >>the only option ? >> >> > >Yep. > >Regards, >Bartlomiej >
