I know there are a lot of posts on this list about getting this working, and I've read through them, and I'm still unable to get a working config where I can install an image on our Dell Precision 470's with SATA drives. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I downloaded Peter Meuller's si320sata.iso, but it would appear that it doesn't have support for the e1000 network card, just the Intel Pro/1000, which makes sense seeing as how that's what's in the Dell PowerEdge 700 series. DHCPDISCOVERS wind up only going out on only the loopback interface...
So I d/loaded the SI-3.2.3 source, and also JGarzik's libata patch (2.4.25-libata16.patch.gz), and did the following:
IIRC, Garzik's libata patch uses EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL but the 0.6.x busybox in SIS 3.2.3 doesn't support that. So, the module is failing to load with an undefined symbol.

I get an error msg when it tries to parition the drive:
Partitioning /dev/sda Error: unable to stat /dev/sda - no such file or directory
ls'ing /dev shows that indeed there are no /dev/sda* devices present.
When the initrd drops into the shell, and lsmod should show the modules not loaded. Attempting to load them will fail as described above.
