Building Linux for an ASUS Eee PC 701 4G with
ata2.00: CFA: SILICONMOTION SM223AC, , max UDMA/66
ata2.00: 7815024 sectors, multi 0: LBA
ata2.00: configured for UDMA/66
scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA SILICONMOTION SM n/a PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] 7815024 512-byte logical blocks: (4.00 GB/3.72 GiB)
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
sda: sda1
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk
sd 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
I followed the advice to not use the deprecated old PATA subsystem
ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED) --->
and use the ATA subsystem instead.
Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers --->
Unfortunately I needed several tries to find out, that I needed the SFF
menu I had not selected before because I had never heard that term
before. I think it would have helped me, to have PATA or legacy IDE in
that item’s name.
