Well, it is only because http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.18 mentions the following: Author: Jeff Garzik Date: Wed May 24 01:43:25 2006 -0400 [libata sata_promise] Add PATA cable detection. Original patch from Phillip Jordan Cleanups and fixes by me. Does this mean something other than that sata_promise actually provides support for PATA or how should I interpret this? Also, with respect to the error messages in my previous messages, could you please advise me about my options? (e.g., wait for a new kernel, etc.)? Thanks, Theo
