sata support is provided by libata. If you look in drivers/scsi/sata_nv.c you will see the SATA device ids. Note that since libata uses the scsi subsystem, the first sata disk will be called sda rather than hdx. Created attachment 55310 [details]

Yep, as Matt pointed out, Linux already supports all these devices. If you are using an IDE controller, use the amd 74xx IDE driver. If you are using a SATA controller, use the SATA/libata sata_nv driver. And some devices are supported by both drivers. |
