Package: kernel-source Version: 2.6.8-15 I understand, eg see
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/solution-for-promise-fasttrack-pdc20378-pata-or-raid-with-2.6.17-kernel-478926/ that the general kernel module "sata_promise" doesn't usually come with PATA support and this is causing me problems with my setup: I've a Asus A8V mobo which has a Promise FastTrak 378 controller, nominally for RAID but I can set it to 'IDE mode' in the BIOS. MS WinXP will then see the 2 IDE disks connected to it. However, when I boot into Debian etch (kernel: 2.6.18-5-amd64) I cannot see these 2 disks. However, if I boot using GPARTed 0.3.4-8 liveCD it states "sata_promise PATA port found" and shows me the disks (albeit as sda, sdb)... so maybe that uses a patched sata_promise module? I also see that Ubuntu are (if I read it right) going to include PATA support for sata_promise: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.20/linux-source-2.6.20_2.6.20-15.27/changelog (search for sata_promise eg at section: "linux-source-2.6.20 (2.6.20-8.14) feisty; urgency=low") So perhaps Debian will ship a kernel with PATA support in sata_promise??
