According to the kernel source, sata_sil does not support SiI3132 chip, whereas sata_sil24 does.
Where can I get the sata_sil24 driver for SuSE 9.3? I can't find my SuSE 9.3 DVD/CDs. I have moved three times since installing SuSE 9.3 and the DVD and/or CDs have been lost.
The current kernel has the right drivers, that's all you need. I know that's not what you want to hear, but that's the story.
I may end up sticking with the USB interface and move to the eSATA when I upgrade -- maybe this will push me over the edge. I've been putting it off for a while.
Looks like 11.1 is what I should go for. Can I assume the NVIDIA driver will be available? Any other potential gotcha's?

If stability is your concern, 11.0 with KDE 3.5 has seemed very stable to me. Much better than 10.1/.2/.3. And it should have plenty of eSata drivers. 11.1 is still an unknown and will be for a month or two. (ie. I like to see a release in the field for a while before I consider it stable.) My impression is that the main reason to jump to 11.1 is to get a better version of KDE 4. But many are saying the 11.2 release next August, possibly with KDE 4.3, will be first high quality release of KDE 4. (If even that is good enough to satisfy the naysayers.) 11.2 should also have the mdadm 3.0 release which I find intriguing for my servers. Thus 11.1 is more of a KDE 4 experiment for me than something I want to upgrade stable systems to.
