I'd be willing to bet the ite8212 is in addition to the nforce3 controller (which works flawlessly for me, by the way). 1. The ite8212 is a dual-channel controller (according to pci.ids in the kernel source). 2. Searching google images gave me this: http://www.crmk.de/7.0/hardware/gigabyte.jpg ...which clearly shows four IDE connectors. Probably the two right next to the RAM are nforce3, and the ite8212 is for the other two. > I grep'ed the kernel source and only found "8212" (GigaRAID uses the > ITE8212 chip) in /drivers/pci/pci.ids > Since I only found it in the PCI id's I think it's not supported ? > (otherwise it would appear somewhere in the source aswell ?) > I think you're right. I couldn't find anything definitive on google after a few minutes of searching. ITE does have a driver listed: http://www.ite.com.tw/software_download/software_download2.asp ...but I couldn't make it compile, even after fixing the Makefile (which is hardcoded for /usr/src/linux-2.6.1) and fixing the missing includes. I don't really know what I'm doing, though. -Corey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
