Filo orders drives starting with IDE,
For filo-0.5 the drive order is actually two drives per PCI bus controller.
For filo-0.6 (current trunk, using libpayload) the drive enumeration has changed to something else, but I don't know exactly what. I spent some time tracing through the code but just looking at it, it seems like it has changed the 0.5 functionality. Not sure.
so if the southbridge (not the motherboard) supports 2 IDE channels, (4 drives), the first SATA device would be hde.
Again it's in bus order so the right name depends on what comes before SATA on the PCI bus.
That should change if any of the ide channels are disabled, but that depends on wether or not their being disabled correctly.
Correct.
Also, FILO should have an option to use longer delays for some buggy SATA devices, can you try it?
Right - this is likely to be neccessary with mechanical media.
