Re: Using SATA in PATA compatible mode?

[Jurgen Kramer]

Ok, I have overcome the install problem by buying an extra plain PATA
drive...(:-( // :-) ) with the latest RH (2.4.29-18.9smp up version lock
ups (???) ) and 2.4.21-rc7-ac1 the SATA part get recognized:

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00beta3-.2.4

But unfortunately I can't still really use the SATA drive but that's
probably due to some other problems (ACPI or SMP). Battling on...
