I can boot from the sata drive on that controller too, but again, even after loading sata_sil from the initrd, it doesn't find the drive, complains about /dev/root not found etc. and panics. Seems like I'm really stuck as none of sata_nv, sata_sil or the normal ata seem to work with recent kernels. Any other pointers to stuff to test (even kernel patches, updated modules etc.) would be very welcome.
