Lo Chaps,
Well I have had some success in getting the libata SATA drivers working
with my KV7 motherboard (Via southbridge 8237 chipset).
Basicly after a search of the viaarena forum I discovered a third party
(Thanks to Pekka Pietikäinen), had built a slightly earlier versio of
the Fedora core with the 0.81 libata support. This kernel displays
exactly the same boot infomation has the 2135 kernel) but the O/S has a
new scsi device I can use to access the driver.
FYI: See http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~pp/fc1-libata/ for more info.
I can only think that a combination of factors has broken SATA in the
current "offical" fedora release. I've had a look at the kernel source
but can't spot anything obvious.. Not that I'm much of a kernel hacker
mind you..
Anyways good news..
Regards
Simon
