All 4 sata drives are detected without fault on each of 5 trial reboots. [root@JollyBox ~]# dmesg | grep -i sil sata_sil24 0000:01:00.0: version 1.1 scsi6 : sata_sil24 scsi7 : sata_sil24 Here is the lspci from the bundled card. http://pastebin.com/1TuM99Q4 I had avoided using the bundled card and used the mobo builtin esata + md sw raid as I need the single PCIe slot on my mobo for a graphics card. > 1.
