Searching google for "k8-ns pro" reveals this page: > http://www.mainboard.cz/mb/gigabyte/GA-K8NSPro.htm ahh.. "make menuconfig" :-) I do compile my own kernels, but I didn't have the idea to compare the kernel config to the chipset!

I don't use SATA drives in the near future, so this is not that important currently, but as far as I've read it's supported. > > GigaRAID ATA 133 RAID controller > > I don't know. As far as I've read, the nForce3 has an IDE/ATA controller. Is that GigaRAID additional to the nForce3 controller, or does one need the GigaRAID working in order to use a ATA disk ? I grep'ed the kernel source and only found "8212" (GigaRAID uses the ITE8212 chip) in /drivers/pci/pci.ids Since I only found it in the PCI id's I think it's not supported ?
