You don't need 2.6 for SATA. SATA is supported in 2.4.27+, so perhaps the module can be included when the kernel is updated.

You also already have options if you want to use DSL and need SATA support. Read the changelog and search for SATA:

they have provided support for SATA in versions 2.0 and 2.1 of DSL. But with those versions is it possible to upgrade to the latest version (3.3) of DSL since the latest version has more advacements.... or can we include modules for SATA support to 3.3 version  of DSL explicitly. If so please tell how ?

It depends what you want out of 3.3. I run DSL 2.1b on this computer. I haven't bothered upgrading to MurgaLua, etc. My computer works just fine.

Are you running a hard drive install or frugal?

So, if anyone would have use for it, I could make it an extension.. So reply if you are interested..

I'd be interested in an outline of how you did it (for a frugal install) - then I could add support for some oddball stuff I do have, bluetooth, irda, pcmcia...

sankarv: you may as well wait for a future release of DSL since roberts has indicated a kernel upgrade will probably be there.

I suppose your extension would be 2 parts?  A regular mydsl extension for the modules, and new minirt+kernel images?
