Lo, on Sunday, August 15, James Vahn did write:
Didn't know about lspci; thanks.
If I'm reading the output correctly, though, I'm not using a VIA IDE interface:
[nanny-ogg:~/mail/.spools]$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]: Unknown device 700c (rev 11) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]: Unknown device 700d ... 00:07.1 IDE interface: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]: Unknown device 7441 (rev 04) 00:07.3 Bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]: Unknown device 7443 (rev 03) 00:08.0 Unknown mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. 20268 (rev 01)
The computer did come with a PCI IDE controller card (the "unknown mass storage controller" line above) that has another two controllers on it. I haven't yet tried switching controllers to see if that helps at all; I may attempt that later this afternoon.
Alternatively, should the fact that lspci keeps saying "unknown device" worry me?
No. This device works fine:
kowari:~# lspci -s 00:09.0
0000:00:09.0 Unknown mass storage controller: Triones Technologies, Inc. HPT366/368/370/370A/372 (rev 01)
kowari:~#
For a while my aged Pentium II wouldn't boot off the builtin IDE controllers, so I stuck the drive onto one of these and all was well (after reconfiguring the BIOS).
