I'm afraid that I'm going to bother you with my woes ...
I have a SATA controller that is giving me problems and I'm looking for
some advice. I am including quite a bit of information in the hope that
it will help.
Here goes (linux data in lower part of message):
Linux System: Slackware 10.2
Motherboard: ABIT ST6-RAID (P3 class) with newest BIOS available
SATA Card: EIO DM-8301H (non-raid) SiI 3112 chipset
- info @ http://www.ivmm.com/eio/products/sata_pci_host.htm
- Note line 2 of description - "Works with 'various' brands of large
capacity ... "
- Win drvrs @ http://www.ivmm.com/eio/support/download.htm#DM8301H
- BIOS Rev. is 4.1.34 on the card dated 2002?
HDD: Seagate ST3120827AS - 120 GB
While booting the machine, the BIOS on the card reports finding the HDD
with a capacity of 114473 MB.
The HDD is visible in Linux as /dev/sda, and has one partition only.

I have had a look at the code for the driver (sata_sil.c) and I have not
attempted to 'blacklist' the HDD or 'sledgehammer' the DM-8301H to try
to obtain a solution, although I would like to really sledgehammer the
DM-8301H <grin> ... but at least it was a cheap card.
Is there anything else I can try to get the HDD/Card working? Utilities
that I can run for more information? Anything that I can do to help in
general?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards
