Package: kernel-image-2.6-k7 Version: 100 Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi, i'm running Debian GNU/Linux testing (well, mostly) on a custom PC: AMD Athon 64 3000+, Board is a GigaByte GA-K8VT800 Pro with Via VT8237 Serial ATA Controller and a Maxtor 6Y160M0 harddisk.
On boot the kernel fails to recognize the SATA interface and/or simply to load the necessary driver ... result is a kernel panic.
There's an additional - but probably not really related - caveat: On IA-32 SATA devices are addressed via their respective IDE devices, whereas the AMD64 kernel uses SCSI devices ... it would be really, really nice to have a CONSISTENT addressing scheme for all the different architectures! Sincerly,
Steffen Elste
