I have a KT600 based motherboard & I am planning to set up my new system using that. It has onboard via 8237 sata {raid, cough cough} controller. I am planning to use a single sata disk (I am not interested in raid). The various distro installers are having tough time noticing a brand new western digital disk. Following is the dmesg from the installer :
## libata version 1.10 loaded. sata_via version 1.1 ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0f.0[B] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 sata_via(0000:00:0f.0): routed to hard irq line 11 ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xB000 ctl 0xB402 bmdma 0xC000 irq 11 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xB800 ctl 0xBC02 bmdma 0xC008 irq 11 ata1: dev 0 cfg 49:3030 82:0078 83:0078 84:0000 85:0000 86:3fff 87:0010 88:000f ata1: no dma/lba ata1: dev 0 not supported, ignoring scsi0 : sata_via ata2: no device found (phy stat 00000000) scsi1 : sata_via ### Is the line "ata1: dev 0 not supported, ignoring" expected? Is there something basic I am missing. I would appreciate any help. I have tried to digest info on Jeff Garzik's linux.yyz.us/sata/ and also www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html but its quite possible I might have misinterpreted it. FWIW, the installer is 2.6.11-1 based and following modules are present in the system.
