Out of curiosity - what was the problem?

You would need a driver in U-Boot for your harddisk controller.
Checking current sources I can only find a driver for a sil3114
(drivers/block/sata_sil3114.c) which I do not know much about. Let's
see - it is used only by one board - MPC8349ITX. That processor only
has PCI, so not only is the driver not for the specific device, it was
obviously only tested on PCI - but it may be a start anyway.
You could ask Timur Tabi (timur at freescale dot com) being the
maintainer for this board for more detail...
Cheers
Detlev

terms of other people's problems, and then run away quickly.
