    I have a brand new Western Digital sata drive, VIA KT600 based ECS
    motherboard on which I am trying to install various distros (with installers
    based on 2.4.26, 2.6.7, 2.6.8, 2.6.11 etc) all of them fail to detect the HD
    (and bomb out) because sata-via is ignoring it . I have only one disk, I am
    not interested in raid.
     
     lspci which tells me it is VIA 6420 and should be supported based on
    sata-via.c. Following are syslog snippets that show more.
    I would appreciate your help in resolving this. Thanks,

    Jay
