Comment 43 for bug 63516

I don't know if anyone's listening, but my Edgy still detects none of my SATA drives hooked up to the ICH8 controller. It is the ICH8, not ICH8R.

Specs:
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 rev 2.0 BIOS F7 (Intel P965 Express, ICH8)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 (1.86 GHz)

00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation SATA Controller 1 IDE (rev 02) (prog-if 8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO])

00:1f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation SATA Controller 2 IDE (rev 02)

03:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technologies, Inc. JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Con
troller (rev 02) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0])

03:00.1 IDE interface: JMicron Technologies, Inc. JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 85 [Master SecO PriO])

Compiling a custom kernel (2.6.19.1) and enabling some SATA features solved the issue. Dapper detects my ICH8 controller and its drives just fine. (Sort of off topic, but neither distro will detect my JMicron PATA. I had to go through lots to get Edgy on this machine.)

The pata_jmicron module works for my JMicron PATA drives. I have libata, ata_piix, and ahci loaded and I'm not sure which my ICH8 is utilizing at the moment.

My current drive arrangement looks like this:

SATA hard drive 1->Intel ICH8 (I believe both ide and ahci work but I can test that)
SATA hard drive 2->Intel ICH8 (I believe both ide and ahci work but I can test that)

PATA DVD burner 1->JMicron PATA [ide mode]
PATA DVD burner 2->JMicron PATA [ide mode]
