the last two patches fix (hopefully) the broken VIA VT8251 SATA support. Generally the ahci method should work with a 2.6.15 kernel, but it fails for the dapper kernel, so use sata_via.c instead.
I have no experience with the stability rigth now, I'm using two SATA disks in a md1 software RAID. No problems so far, after a few hours. Source of the patches as already mention above: http://forums.viaarena.com/messageview.aspx?catid=28&threadid=71754&enterthread=y I hope this can make it into the stable dapper kernel, even three weeks after release :-) Albrecht -- No SATA support for VIA VT8251 (e.g. on ASUS A8V MX) https://launchpad.net/bugs/33030 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
