@vasiiy_gr, I'm not sure why your mobo has problems or what it does with the pata_legacy module, but I requested Trantor to include that driver.
I have been using (and needing) that driver because it is the ONLY one that works with an Intel 945GZ chipset (not exactly new, but not ancient like the ones listed on wikipedia) that reside in the Intel ss4200 NAS. This system is designed to boot off an on-board DOM in the PATA port. It's a custom NAS that the bios is crippled and doesn't really cater to other boot media options.
@gnoboot, Ubuntu 13.10 does include the pata_legacy by default as well as Wheezy, but I do have to load it when my sata controller is configured in "enhanced" mode which is needed to enable the pata port, sata ports, and e-sata ports.
So Trantor, do you have any advice or instructions that I can include the pata_legacy module for my boot image?
Thanks again for all your time and efforts.
