VIA SATA and the 2.6.0 kernel
Have installed 2.6.0 kernel in a VIA KT600 machine with a common IDE
disk.
Now I do have a SATA disk on the same machine, and am trying access it.
Thing is that in dmesg, just after ide0, I get some lines about
VIA8237SATA, and several lines after that a libata line. Nothing about
sata-via nor anything the like.
I gather from http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/sata.htm I should
get something more specifically about SATA.
Anyway if I try cfdisk /dev/sda I get an error about not being able
to open the disk drive.
When booting there is a message about missing ide-detect, which
seemingly wasn't compile for 2.6.0.
Any tips, ideas, RTFM with pointers welcome.
