[Bug 33030] Re: No SATA support for VIA VT8251 (e.g. on ASUS A8V MX)

[Albrecht Gebhardt]

the last two patches fix (hopefully) the broken VIA VT8251 SATA support.

Generally the ahci method should work with a 2.6.15 kernel, but it fails
for the dapper kernel, so use sata_via.c instead.

I have no experience with the stability rigth now, I'm using two SATA
disks in a md1 software RAID. No problems so far, after a few hours.

Source of the patches as already mention above:

I hope this can make it into the stable dapper kernel, even three weeks
after release :-)
