On order: "1 internal port, 1 e-SATA, SiI3132 Chipset, PCI express SATA II card"
From the first link you gave: Silicon Image 3124/3124-2 (chip in 4-port SATA-II PCI-X cards) and 3132 (chip in 2-port SATA-II PCI Express cards) (Silicon Image, Inc., formerly CMD Technology, Inc.) — libata's sata_sil24 driver (production quality) supports Silicon Image 3124 (2005-08) and also the follow-on 2-port PCI Express SATA-II successor chip, the Silicon Image 3132. (Per 2004-07-08's libata status report, Silicon Image provided Garzik with docs and sample hardware.)
SuSE 9.3 has sata_sil.ko but no sata_sil24.ko: # l /lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.17-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi | grep sil -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16368 May 3 2007 sata_sil.ko
Hope it works!
According to the kernel source, sata_sil does not support SiI3132 chip, whereas sata_sil24 does. Also, the hardware you mentioned in your original post (Initio id 1622), is supported by the sata_inic162x driver, but you'd need a kernel upgrade. /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
