Subject: Re: [PATCH] Add IDE mode support for SB600 SATA

Legacy/Native IDE mode is designed for compatibility with some old OS without AHCI driver but looses SATAII/AHCI features such as NCQ. This patch provides users with two options when the SB600 SATA is set as IDE mode by BIOS:

And your patch conflicts in mysterious ways with the below.
I've been sitting on this patch for three months. I don't know why.
From: "Anatoli Antonovitch" <[email protected]>
Automatically match the proper driver for different SATA/IDE modes of SB600 SATA controller: ahci for SATA/Native IDE/RAID modes and ATIIXP_IDE for legacy mode.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you! I will re-write the patch since you think it is not reasonable.
There were 3 patches for sb600 sata controller, including the one you listed, but none is accepted, so I will re-create the patch until it is accepted.
(btw, I am sorry for using MS Outlook to reply this maillist. It seems we use different mail format, and I will switch to another email client next time.)
best regards,
conke
