Sorry if my reply took so long but I'm not having much time.. But anyway I take a break and see the KNOPPIX lsmod again and I discovered that KNOPPIX use ataraid to detect my drive then I searched for information and I found this: http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html "Driver Overview: Linux kernels have two ATA ("IDE") driver sets: * "drivers/ide": This is the traditional ATA driver set, maintained by Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz (before that, Andre Hedrick). Contrary to popular belief, it includes low-level drivers for many common SATA chipsets. Optionally, on top of drivers/ide block-device (generic mass storage access) drivers, one can load drivers to provide software-level suport for BIOS services enabling various types of manufacturer-specific software RAID (called "fakeraid", below): o For 2.4 kernels, Linux's software-RAID (fakeraid) driver collection is called "ataraid", which has subdrivers for the various manufacturers' different software RAID schemes. Using ataraid results in your partitions being addressed using a /dev/ataraid/d0p1 (etc.) device-naming convention. Note: Support greatly improved circa-2.4.23. o For 2.6 kernels, Linux's software-RAID (fakeraid) driver collection is called "dmraid" (Device Mapper RAID). So far (Sept 2004), Promise Fasttrack, Highpoint 37X, Intel ICH5/6, LSI, and SiI 3112A/Medley are supported: http://tienstra4.flatnet.tudelft.nl/~gerte/gen2dmraid/ I'm pretty sure manufacturers' proprietary drivers, where available, are designed to fit the above framework. * "libata": This is the newer ATA driver set for selected SATA chipsets only, maintained by Jeff Garzik, leveraging the kernel's well-tested SCSI layer. Garzik developed it in the 2.6 kernel series. 2.4 support was available only with a backported patch until libata's inclusion in 2.4.27. libata causes each SATA port appear as a new SCSI bus. There are individual low-level drivers for the individual SATA chipsets, e.g., ata_piix, sata_promise, sata_sil, sata_sx4, sata_svw, sata_via, sata_vsc." But like Colin Watson said: "discover1-data (1.2004.02.08-7) unstable; urgency=low * Gaudenz Steinlin [...] - Use ata_piix module for 82801EB (ICH5) Serial ATA 150 Storage Controller (808624d1); (Closes: #250310, #249633) [...]" I tried to find info too.. and comes out something like this.. "# Intel ICH5 / ICH5-R family â supported in 2.4.22 and later kernels using drivers/ide's piix driver (but that driver locks up in many cases), and also (much more reliably) in libata's ata_piix driver, which is now (2004-02-25) of production quality. Fakeraid. (See fakeraid support details under Intel ICH6.) # Intel ICH6 / ICH6-R / ICH6-M family â libata's ata_piix driver support is now (2004-02-25) functional when the ICH6 is running in either ICH5-alike mode or (on ICH6-R or ICH6-M) the enhanced, much-faster, open-specification "AHCI" mode, as of 2004-07-08. Technology-preview AHCI driver available starting 2.4.29-preX and 2.6.9-rcX. AHCI mode supports hotplug, per-device queues, and port multiplier. Fakeraid. Intel ICH5R, ICH6R, and perhaps some others perform RAID0 disk-spanning via a BIOS trick, which is thus OS-independent. That mode of Intel fakeraid (Intel Software RAID) can be supported in 2.4.x on ICH5/6 with ataraid subdriver iswraid atop libata's ata_piix (not atop drivers/ide): http://www.kerneltraffic.org/kernel-traffic/kt20031201_243.html#16, http://www.kerneltraffic.org/kernel-traffic/kt20040331_255.html#16. (I believe the iswraid patch was merged into kernel 2.4.26.)" So I ask for to you include the ata_piix or ataraid to give support to my SATA drive please because without this modules I can't do nothing with the new installer! :\ Thanks for your patience :) Oh.. and I'm having red background too.. :)
