Are you sure the SATA disks are configured as SATA in the BIOS (enhanced/AHCI), and not emulated to PATA, then mapped using libata (which makes them /dev/sd* ?
No I'm not sure. Is there a way to infer this from within Linux or must I access the BIOS screen? Here is a clip from the latest boot: Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: SCSI subsystem initialized Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0f.0[B] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.0, from 10 to 0 Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: sata_via 0000:00:0f.0: routed to hard irq line 0 Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xC000 ctl 0xB802 bmdma 0xA800 irq 16 Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xB400 ctl 0xB002 bmdma 0xA808 irq 16 Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113) Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: ata1: dev 0 ATA-7, max UDMA/133, 234441648 sectors: LBA48 Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: ata1: dev 0 configured for UDMA/133 Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: scsi0 : sata_via Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0) Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: scsi1 : sata_via Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: Vendor: ATA Model: ST3120811AS Rev: 3.AA Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: SCSI device sda: 234441648 512-byte hdwr sectors (120034 MB) Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: sda: Write Protect is off Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back Apr 12 09:16:53 submit3 kernel: SCSI device sda: 234441648 512-byte hdwr sectors (120034 MB) Apr 12 09:16:54 submit3 kernel: sda: Write Protect is off Apr 12 09:16:54 submit3 kernel: SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back Apr 12 09:16:54 submit3 kernel: sda: sda1 sda2 Apr 12 09:16:54 submit3 kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda Also - how well is the native SATA support in the latest kernels? As far as I followed the kernel changes libsata/libpata/lib?ata was integrated in the mainstream not long ago. Thanks, --Amos
