00:1f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) 2 port SATA IDE Controller (rev 02)
That tells me what controller the OM is attached to, but AFAICT not whether it's on a PATA or SATA port.
Hmm, the ICH8 chip does both SATA and PATA - I'm surprised they don't show up as separate PCI entities, but as they don't, I think you need some ICH8-specific utility to tell you whether a device is connected as PATA or SATA. Wild guess - maybe there is something in the ata_piix driver that'll help you? /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
