The kernel drivers used are in the SCSI stack. The ata_piix driver is making your SATA controller look like a SCSI card to the higher level SCSI disk driver. The kernel is moving to all IDE/SATA devices behaving this way. > Is it possible to have a SCSI disk connected to a IDE interface ???

Physically or virtually? Physically, you need SATA (IDE will likely work too; most x86 motherboards still have an IDE port). On the software side, the kernel will automatically see the new SATA drive with the existing drivers. -- Rob Q: What's tiny and yellow and very, very, dangerous?
