Hi David,

AFAIK "ata_piix.c" is developed for intel SATA controllers integrated on
PIIX chipsets only.
Why do you expect it should support Adaptec or Marvell controllers too?

U need some another driver for it, therefore start kernel configuration,
have a look at SCSI device support  ---> SCSI low-level drivers --->
[*] Serial ATA (SATA) support
and find if something on next lines fits to your controller.
If not, then goooogle can be helpful to find it (if it exist).

HTH, noro
