Hi Jeff, I recently added a Silicon Image 3512 based PCI card to an old Intel 440BX machine along with a single platter 500GB WD SATA2 drive. I'd have gone with an ahci sata2 controller but couldn't find one in 33MHz PCI. I compiled a new kernel, adding SCSI disk, libata and sata_sil support using make menuconfig and kernel.org sources installed the debian way on lenny 5.0.3. I left the old piix diver in so I could still boot from the old IDE disk and move the entire Linux system over. That all went pretty smoothly, I'm now booting from the new disk, and the sata subsystem is working pretty well, especially compared to the old 40GB Maxtor IDE disk (now removed from the system).
sata_sil hardware does not support NCQ. Jeff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
