- kernel version?
- libata or ide-sata driver?
- modul or build in ?
- exact error message ? |

2.6.12
Not 100% sure, this is new to me. I did Sata->Low Level->Silicon Images Drive
Built in. Tried module, and it went in, but I could never find what to modprobe to enable it.
Message is "Kernel Panic - cannot sync; attempting to stop init" (Or something very similar) |

Here has an Abit NF7-S 2.0 been working with SATA for several months very stable (actual 2.6.12-love1).

I have the ATA covered.
I KNOW that I have SCSI disk and device support compiled in. Not sure if I have SCSI generic support as a module.
The low-level I have had, but when I compile in the Sil SATA support, it gives me a kernel panic.
The file systems I believe I have just like that, but I dont think it would matter, as the drive is formatted in FAT32.
My grub.conf is something like such (fairly sure this is exact, but im at work right now)
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.12 root=/dev/hda3
title=Gentoo Linux [Failsafe]
root (hd1,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-failsafe root=/dev/hda3 |

If you use libata the drive must be sda. |

| I dont really understand how or why for that. It starts to boot fine, reads the kernel and all, just when it goes to find my sata drive, it panics. And, what would I set the root to? Im not actually using my sata drive as the root drive. |

| Ok, im totally confused now. It works. I dont have the kernel compiled with the Sil image support. I dont have it as a module. I dont even have SCSI emulation. It just works. Though, now the thing is, my sound doesnt work. Im not sure why, but im working on fixing it. |

| Ok, I got it compiled into my kernel now, but its still not detecting my drive on my sata controller. I havent modified my grub.conf. I need alittle more explination on that, as to why. |

SATA drives that use the libata framework are seen by the kernel as SCSI devices, so their devices are /dev/sdX. This is like this since SATA and SCSI drives share some properties: they can handle command queuing, hotplug, ... so seeing them as SCSI avoids duplicating code. |

| is your sata hd with root or boot partition, or does it only hold data? |
