Well the 20378 identifies itself as a SATA controller to the PCI system. The promise_sata driver handles the sata ports just fine, but yeah I certainly have not seen a pata port on it working with linux. I didn't actually realize it had one either as I had never considered using more than one pata device on my machine so far. > If there is a way to access the IDE interface on the PDC20378, I'd > like to know how. It is not currently supported, but there is apparently a prelimenary patch that tries to add pata support to the 20378 driver in libata. See http://linux.yyz.us/sata/sata-status.html#tx2 for details.
