[Bug 78227] Update to latest sata_nv suggested

[WillyTP]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15

Newer publicy available sata_nv module fixes some bugs, and could be
useful for people having troubles with the one in the dapper kernel
(version 0.08, rather than the latest 0.11).

Particulary, version 0.09 changelog says:
Fixed bug introduced by 0.08's MCP51 and MCP55 support.

which is a chipset used by some all-in-one motherboards.

I've been able to update to the latest sata_nv 0.11 in the following way
I'm going to describe.

Before all:
-I'm using kernel 2.6.15-27-amd64-k8, so change version numbers accordingly to yours;

1)Download latest nvidia nforce package
2)For Dapper, I suggest you using sata_nv.c file contained under Fedora5 folder of the downloaded package
3)Install build-essential plus linux-headers-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8
4)Copy sata_nv.c into some folder, e.g. /home/willytp/forcedeth
4a)This sata_nv.c needs to be patched; I'm going to attach the fix.
5)Into this folder, make a file called "Makefile" containing the following line:
obj-m := sata_nv.o
6)Into this folder, execute the following command:
make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8/ SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
7)Copy the just created sata_nv.ko module into
/lib/modules/2.6.15-27-amd64-k8/kernel/drivers/scsi/
overwriting the old one
8)Execute this command: sudo depmod -a
9)Make a new initrd image: go into /boot/ folder, locate your initrd image, save it name, delete the file, and execute the following command:
mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8
10)Cross fingers and reboot ;)

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
