FW: Cannot disable built-in driver during Ubuntu 9.04 installation.

[Tim Gardner]

Bruce,

I'm not sure there is a way to avoid the built-in VIA SATA driver. You
can find all of the available module parameters by searching for
MODULE_PARM_DESC in drivers/ata. You may have to build your own kernel
with CONFIG_SATA_VIA=m.
