Which changelog? I assure you (a) PATA support for sata_promise is not in 2.6.18, and (b) it implies nothing of the sort in the official kernel changelog on ftp.kernel.org.
Thanks Jeff for a quick response. Well, it is only because http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.18 mentions the following:

   Author: Jeff Garzik <[email protected]>
   Date:   Wed May 24 01:43:25 2006 -0400
       [libata sata_promise] Add PATA cable detection.
       Original patch from Phillip Jordan <[email protected]>
       Cleanups and fixes by me.

Does this mean something other than that sata_promise actually provides support for PATA or how should I interpret this? Also, with respect to the error messages in my previous messages, could you please advise me about my options? (e.g., wait for a new kernel, etc.)?

Thanks,
Theo
