no, i think that's right. i was answering (or trying to address) erik's objection that it was impossible for a device without its ID in the pcimatch loop to be recognised at all. as jmk had observed earlier, if it's at the normal address, as the other chap's drive had been (according to the config data printed), it will be (and was) recognised. if it's at the normal address(es), the device will be picked up there, SATA or not, and does not need to be handled by the later pcimatch loop (which would ignore unlisted cards).
