linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r6 and INTEL SATA [SOLVED]

[thejackal13]

I have recently compiled the new kernel (linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r6) and these menu options, SATA_INTEL_COMBINED AND SATA_ACPI, are not available which is preventing my hard disk from being recognized during boot with the new kernel.

Has anyone experience this or know of a solution?

Thanks.

I have the exact same problem. Seems to be some regression in 2.6.22 kernel.

Thanks for the reply, I am recompiling right now. I didn't receive an email so that is why I am so late responding, I will have to check the mail filters.

I removed: Generic ATA support & Intel PATA MPIIX support

"Intel ESB, ICH, PIIX3, PIIX4 PATA/SATA support" was already selected.

Sorry for the late response but that above recommendations worked.

According to wikipedia my Dell D610 has a Intel 915PM chipset.

thanks for your help!
