Just worth checking. Some have enhanced, combined, compatible, etc as settings for SATA. I think enhanced is native mode in that case.

I don't know if Manuele and Zsolt made some progress, but as for me I'm stuck as you are. Exactly the same symptoms. I reported on 02/16 to linux-ide@vger.kernel.org with some interesting tests but got no reaction. I'll try compilling the module in to see if it behaves better. There might be an issue with hotplug (if I manage to use the sata disk very quick after booting from pata it works, if I stop using it after some time it spins down and then is unusable) Thanks for the tip, GoM I tried gentoo and compiled my own kernel. I compiled the sata_nv drier statically into the kernel and then there is no problem. Morten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Maybe the difference lies in the brand of harddisk? I have a Seagate Sata 120 GB sata150 7200.7 Rpm / NCQ disk on the first sata contoller. I have a Hitachi 250G Deskstar SATA on the first controller. I have an NEC dual layer DVD burner on the second PATA controller (and nothing on the first) - I have no idea if that makes a difference. I tried gentoo and compiled my own kernel. I compiled the sata_nv drier statically into the kernel and then there is no problem. I wonder if doing a Debian from Scratch kind of install would work? http://people.debian.org/~jgoerzen/dfs/html/ You could at least see if that kernel supports your disk/controller. (It worked on my machine well enough to reinstall grub after another OS decided to rewrite my boot sector.) Otherwise I guess you could look at using your working kernel with debian-installer. It's been a long time since I tried to do anything like that but I don't recall it being too hard. This was probably with a boot floppy (as opposed to a CD) but it seems like it would be a similar process... Take care, Dale -- Dale E.
