If not where do I > get one from ? "Unknown device" means that lspci cannot find the vendor:device combination in its database (/usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz). You can update this database by running "update-pciids" as root. However, it seems that VIA's 0x5372 device is so far not included in the database at all: http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=1106 (If your documentation contains a reliable model name and number then you can add this information to the online database yourself.) Nevertheless, I think that the newest sata_via module supports the controller already, since its device ID is included in sata_via.c: { PCI_VDEVICE(VIA, 0x5372), vt6420 }, The vt6420 IDs were added to the driver on 2007-05-25, so you will probably have to upgrade your kernel if you are running standard Etch (which was released on 2007-04-08 and frozen for a while before that already). You could check out www.backports.org; I think they have 2.6.22 kernel packages available for installation on Etch systems. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
