sata support for kernel form scratch

cb951303 · 09-08-2005, 10:54 AM

I'm doing a menuconfig for 2.6.13 now
what should I include to make my kernel support SATA?
there is "Support for SATA" option but it says also "deprecated, conflicts with libata SATA driver".
and also what about SCSI Emulation, should I include that too?

thanks for answers

The "proper" (libata) SATA support is under the SCSI drivers. Enable that. SCSI Emulation is pretty useless since 2.6 allowed direct CD-burning access.

I have SATA HD and I have just compiled the kernel. I only needed to compile two drivers:
