| 8 | The patched ahci.c is for example here: |
| 9 | http://grivell.home.comcast.net/ahci.c |
| 10 | Someone with nick "CodeRedLin" modified ahci.c with via patch... |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Instead of standard ahci.c which comes with 2.6.15-gentoo-r7 sources |
| 13 | I used this modified one, and it really works! Suddenly both my sata |
| 14 | drives are detected. hdparm -t /dev/sda (sdb) gives me very nice |
| 15 | 65 MB/s, and that is while I'm doing raid1-resync! |
| 16 | |
| 17 | But he (author) says this patched ahci.c will probably not work |
| 18 | with 2.6.16 :-( |

| 20 | There is another patch for sata_via.c : |
| 21 | http://web.ukonline.co.uk/paulrbarber/sata_via_20060221.c |
| 22 | I did not test it, as that modified ahci.c worked for me. |
| 23 | BTW, I'm not sure what is better to use: ahci.c, or sata_via.c? |

| 25 | I have found a very good discussion about vt8521 & linux here: |
