IDE and SCSI devices in U-Boot
Hi All,
We have ported U-Boot and Linux-2.4.22 onto a custom powerpc board. We have a Serial ATA card (SATA150 Tx2plus) sitting on PCI, which supports 2 devices. A Hard Disk has been connected to one of the port of the Serial ATA card. Linux identifies this Hard Disk as a SCSI device and configures it properly. Now I want to boot Linux from the the Hard Disk using U-boot. Can I configure the Hard Disk as an IDE device from U-boot or do I have to configure it as a SCSI device?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Sudhakar.

There is no SATA driver in U-Boot yet.
