I have had an Athlon64 system (Asus K8V motherboard) system set up since September and have been running Suse v9.0-64 since November. I have been having the same problems with the VIA 8237 chipset and SATA support that others have had - the VIA and Promise controllers are not supported with the 2.4.21 kernel. After lurking here, I saw mention of the 3ware SATA product working natively and took a look into it - I ordered the lowest end board - 8006 - and just received and installed it. After poking around and getting the 3w module loaded, I was able to partition and mount the drive (my system drive is just plain old IDE). It is in use as I write this... Just wanted to say thanks for the discussions and recommendations - I have a working SATA drive now! ......Chuck Arlington, Texas, USA

The latest 9.0 update kernel has experimental VIA and Promise drivers.

When you use this controller with more than ~3GB RAM make sure you run the latest update kernel too. -Andi
Hi! I somehow managed to install on Serial ATA on MSI K8T motherboard with VIA 8237. But I have some questions. At the install time, kernel sees two drives, even If I created from RAID menu RAID array for RAID 1 for mirroring. So I have installed on /dev/sda. Now I am wondering why there are two drives, that kernel shows. Shouldn't be only array seen? If I install it on /dev/sda means this also, that since it is array, /dev/sdb is mirror from /dev/sda? Or I am missing sometning? MIlan

Where can i get this kernel ?

We're in the process of testing and releasing them (iff they work), I'll send a note when I have a final status, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SuSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Will be there also boot.iso images updated, so It can be installed with VIA 8237 chipset and SATA support? MIlan

That's what Andreas meant. We are currently testing this procedure.
