Does SUSE 9.0 support SATA? To be more specific, I am thinking of purchasing a motherboard that uses the Promise 20376 controller. Will this work out of the box? Has anyone had experience with PCI Sata controllers? I have searched the SDB with no sucess. Any advice would be appreciated -- Regards Marcus

Depends on the S-ATA controller (chip).

Won't work.

Some S-ATA controllers work. As far as I know all of the S-ATA RAID controllers don't. The same seems true for all Promise S-ATA controllers. If you want S-ATA, wait for somebody elses advise who has already used it successfully. Greetings from Bremen hartmut

might not work out of the box, but there are drivers available for linux. i found them the other day on the promise web site. unfortunately i don't have the url handy and their search engine seems to be broken. (stupid ms sql) -- trey

just a follow up to my previous mail.. a couple threads on linuxquestions.org about promise serial ata controllers under linux: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?threadid=60248 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?threadid=50365 while the threads themselves are supposed to be about redhat, there is info about using the drivers in suse as well. -- trey
