Thanks all for your comments, help, advice on SATA support for SuSE9.3. Just to keep you up to date: Today I received a SATA/eSATA card with an SII3124 chip (SYBA SATA II NCQ HOST CONTROLLER CARD). It comes with a CD that has a big assortment of Linux drivers with several SuSE 9.3 versions (32 and 64-bit, non-SMP, SMP, big-SMP) etc. Pretty much the same thing as one of the images posted here earlier. Unfortunately, the latest kernel updates seem to be incompatible with the driver. The driver loads either by modprobe or insmod but immediately gets a SEGFAULT. I have a SuSE 10.3 installed on a test partition and it simply loaded the right driver automatically (no need for the driver CD). I am pretty sure I will have similar success with SuSE 11.1 when that gets here. MY QUESTION: The card is a 32-bit/33mhz PCI card (not PCI express) and claims to support 3.0Gbps. I thought that the PCI bus was not fast enough for 3.0Gbps and PCI express was required. Am I missing something? Am I simply wrong about the PCI bus' capabilities?
