I've tried to read pretty much every relevant post but still can't fix my problem.

Here's my setup:

    A7V600 Mobo
    VIA Sata Controller
    Seagate SATA hardrive
    Maxtor IDE Harddrive
    Kernel : 2.6.8-gentoo-r3


..i think thats all the relevant stuff.

I have gentoo on the IDE hard drive and all i'm wanting to do is to be able to detect the sata drive and copy things across. I have the VIA driver installed into my kernel (not as a module) and when i boot i get this message:

Code:
libata version 1.02 loaded.
sata_via version 0.20
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0f.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
sata_via(0000:00:0f.0): routed to hard irq line 11
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xB400 ctl 0xB002 bmdma 0xA000 irq 11
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xA800 ctl 0xA402 bmdma 0xA008 irq 11
ata1: dev 0 cfg 49:2f00 82:346b 83:7d01 84:4003 85:3469 86:3c01 87:4003 88:407f
ata1: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 156301488 sectors: lba48
ata1: dev 0 configured for UDMA/133
scsi0 : sata_via
ata2: no device found (phy stat 00000000)
scsi1 : sata_via
  Vendor: ATA       Model: ST380013AS        Rev: 3.18
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 05


This to me looks as though it's found it but there is no mention of anything like it in my /dev folder (no sda, hdd, ata) etc.

Any help at all would be great. Even a RTFM would be good if i knew what manual i should be reading - kernel, sata, sata controller... ??

I also have that problem with my A7V600 mobo.

However this is only if you use the libata driver instead of the depricated driver found under the ATA branch in the kernel.

I run the depricated driver and therefor i have my sata as hdd instead of sda.

This isn't a solution to the actual problem but it's a workaruond. Id be glad if someone could tell us how to use libata with the Asus A7V600...

fantastic. silly of me not to try that driver as i'd seen it earlier.

i know its not a solution but its a workaround that'll do for me just now.

cheers,

Problem solved, just didn't realize you had to configure kernel with SCSI drive support. Just had the scsi support and libata kompiled :oops:
