RE: Generic SATA driver which works with Marvell SATA

["Yogesh Pahilwan" <pahilwan.yogesh@spsoftindia.com>]

Hi Erik,

Even I tried loading sd_mod scsi disk driver; I am not able to see any SATA
disks.

When I cat /proc/scsi/scsi it shows:
 
Attached devices:

I believe there must be some low level driver for the SATA devices (eg:
mv_sata for Marvel SATA) which allows sd_mod to expose them as a scsi
devices?

I need a generic SATA driver to be used as replace of (eg: mv_sata) driver.

Please suggest.

Yogesh

If the disk behaves like a standard SATA disk the sd driver should work
just fine (like with any other SATA disk).

It comes free with your kernel source.
