Hello,
Finally was able to get around to getting this to work with my
SATA system.
edited include/linux/libata.h to #define ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI
and poof, after my dozen burns works great. I shall build
a system with it soon.
Future knowledge if no one knows:
In the past I have posted to the mailing lists about editing
include/linux/libata.h to enable atapi support in the sata
libata drivers.
This has changed for kernels >= 2.6.14.
The user can pass a kernel option to enable the atapi
option in the sata libata driver.
atapi_enabled=1. The kernel source has it off (0) by default.
Hope this helps someone in the future when they decide to
try the livecd on their sata system and they can't boot
because their sata atapi device isn't detected and utilized
by the scsi cdrom driver.
Does anyone know if that'd be good to put along with the
messages when somone hits F1 for options when the livecd
starts using kernels >= 2.6.14?
Sincerely,
William (Ratrophy)
