Hello!
On my MSI motherboard there are the following devices:
0000:00:11.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 437a 0000:00:12.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4379 0000:00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4376
These are listed in the PCI ID database (not committed yet):
4376 Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller ATI 4379 ATI 4379 Serial ATA Controller 437a ATI 437A Serial ATA Controller
The 1st SATA controller seems to work with the SATA_SIL driver from vanilla 2.6.11 (and none sooner, I tried), and I'm using it that way now. Since the Debian Pure64 CD doesn't come with that, it doesn't find a HD when trying to install with the CD.
I have the following problems: ------------------------------ * Though the SATA is configured in IDE mode in BIOS it does not show up as IDE within Linux and this does not change when the ATIIXP driver is loaded - ide2 is not recognized as a bus with connected devices. My SATA HD is listed by the BIOS to be channel 2 master, while CD-ROM on the Dual ATA is listed on channel 0, channel 1 is unused, so shouldn't the SATA drive show up as /dev/hde or something??? * How can I tune the ATIIXP driver via parameters or source modification so it recognizes the SATA controllers as devices to configure??? * How can I force ANY IDE driver to recognize these SATA drives in IDE mode?
This is a mail regarding this topic I'm confused about. The author seems to think, ATIIXP can do the 4379 as well:

Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional data.
Thanks and with kind regards, Oliver Korpilla
