currently no one should be using libata for PATA support.
We emailed back and forth extensively about how this has
not been true since early this year. Modern laptops are
using libata for the ICH6M support, simply because libata
claims that chipset, and the IDE driver does not.
These laptops are using PATA drives (eg. "FUJITSU MHV2100AH").
This sounds like a misconfigured kernel. The IDE driver should pick up
the PATA port, and libata should pick up the SATA port. Anything else
is a bug, and should be addressed by me or Bart.
While ya'll are talking about pata support, has anyone got a driver that
supports the pata ports of the SIS180 yet? And I don't care which
way.:-) As you might recall, I tried patching the 5513 driver, but had
limited success with constant lost interrupts. I'm not a C programmer
and don't know much about the whole IDE layout, but I'm willing to test
on a Jetway S755MAX Board, that constist of the standard pata ports off
the sis755 and a secondary SIS180 with 2 ports of sata and 1 channel
pata (2 drives). I'm running the 2.6.11 kernel, but can install whatever
you would want to test with on another drive.
