If you use the new libat= a drivers, it won't work correctly because libata doesn't yet support the needed ATA-passthro= ugh ioctl() calls. Jeff Garzik, the libata developer, says that this support will be added t= o libata in the future. When this happens, we'll add support to smartmontools for a new S= ATA/libata device type '-d sata'. Typically, to force an SATA disk to run using the standard (no= n-libata) drivers, you must use the BIOS to select "legacy mode" for the controller. If the IDE = driver doesn't support your particular SATA controller, or the controller doesn't have a legacy = interface, then only libata can be used. Unless the hard disk controller on the system motherb= oard is Intel, VIA or nVidia, standard IDE drivers may not work" /Per Jessen, Z=FCrich --=20 http://www.spamchek.com/freetrial - sign up for your free 30-day trial no= w! |
