Hi Venkat,

After copying the module into the /lib/module/uname -r/drivers/pci/

you should perform

depmod -a

This will rebuild the module dependency and re-link the module to the kernel.

Also verify using lspci command if you motherboard has the support for AHCI

For applying the patch first you always run

#patch --dry-run -p1 < patchfile

This command dose not apply the patch but verify the patch file are updated correctly. If no rejection of patch then we can apply the patch.

#patch -p1 < patchfile

Currently i am trying to work with my kernel :

I am trying to make my chipset(ICH7 - M) to support AHCI in my debian 6 (linux-source-2.6.32).

With mentioned link's ref :http://tartarus.org/~ds/quirk-ich-force-ahci.patch <http://tartarus.org/~ds/quirk-ich-force-ahci.patch>

i cooked the quirk.c in my work machine and compiled the KERNEL

make SUBDIRS=drivers/pci/ and make module SUBDIRS=drivers/pci/

After successful compilation

i copied the "pci-stub.ko" from linux-source-2.6.32/drivers/pci to test

machine's :"/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/pci" path and then set quirks.ich_force_ahci=1 in /etc/grub/grub.conf

and rebooted the system

But after reboot my IDE is using ata_PIIX driver not AHCI driver.

Don't know what is error.request some guidance on applying the patch
