Hi,
I just tested the new ahci driver on a Core 2 machine with ICH7 chipset.
It attachs to a SATA DVD burner, which I believe should be left to the nata
driver.
Kernel is 2.3.1 GENERIC with SMP enabled (no apic).
Details of chipset (pciconf -lv):
atapci0@pci0:31:1: class=0x01018a card=0x58428086 chip=0x27df8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82801G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage Controller'
class = mass storage
subclass = ATA
atapci1@pci0:31:2: class=0x010601 card=0x58428086 chip=0x27c18086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82801GB I/O Controller Hub SATA cc=AHCI'
class = mass storage
subclass = SATA
Parts of dmesg:
ahci0: <AHCI-PCI-SATA> port 0x30a0-0x30af,0x30e0,0x30e3,0x30c0,0x30c7,0x30e4,0x30e7,0x30c8,0x30cf mem 0xd2204000-0xd22043ff irq 9 at device 31.2 on pci0
