[ELDK] Canyonlands SATA

[Stephen Winiecki]

I had a question regarding configuring/enabling the use of a SATA drive 
with Canyonlands.

When I configure "Device Drivers->Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA 
(experimental drivers)" - what chipset selection is appropriate for the 
460EX on-chip SATA controller?  I also need to make sure SCSI disk support 
is selected?  Anything else?

The 'SATA drive compatibility' section on the AMCC 460EX downloads page 
(http://www.amcc.com/Embedded/Downloads/download.html?cat=1&family=19) 
lists some drive models - it shows 160GB ST3160811AS listed twice - should 
one of these model numbers be something else? (I've pulled a Seagate 160GB 
ST3160023AS drive from an old G5 - was hoping that would be one of the 
confirmed drives).   What is the most likely cause of one drive/model not 
functioning properly w/ the same controller?   Are there any addditional 
drives or updates to this list based on newer firmware/driver support?

Thanks,

Steve
