I got just the message "libata version 1.02 loaded." and thats all. Do I have to recompile the kernel with config_broken or something else?

Someone is asking me if he can install SUSE Standard Server on a SATA RAID volume on this controller. He has a Gigabyte 7NNXP board (nvidia nforce2) with the above chip.
I found the statement below on the Silicon Image support site, and it seems like COMPLETE CRAP! Precompiled kernel? Non open-source driver? Another one? Wasn't nvidia enough? Damn, this is not a good trend.
I don't know about SUSE standard server (?) but I have this card. Under SUSE 9.0, Yast picked it up but the module failed to load. In 9.1 the module (silraid or something like that) loads perfectly. I just don't have any discs to test it with.
The kernel includes the opensource driver. I know there is a driver from Silicon image, no idea how it works.
