Unsupported kernel...

Comment 3 Grégoire Favre 2006-05-19 09:42:34 UTC 
For me the mm are the only kernels on which my ide/sata works good (via sata together with via pata all under scsi) so OK it's not a supported kernel, but it could be cool to have a patch for it :-)
The one that could be found under the nv forum don't works for me...

In this link the second topic gives the patch for >=2.6.17-rc4-mm1 and Linux >=2.6.17-git7.
