I've bought an A7V600. It supports SATA so I guess it must be the A7V600 SATA.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
After installing the board, I couldn't boot with mandrake anymore and windows
booted on 320x200 without mouse or keyboard but gentoo (on an ATA card, not
on the board's ide controller) booted without problem. I had just lost DMA
control and that sort of thing.
I patched the my kernels for vt8237 support (manually, because gentoo-sources
don't handle the patch) and now everything is fine like before. Except
windows but I wasn't using it anyway ;-) I also patched my mandrake's kernel
and could boot mandrake too.
Note: I have not tried sata, the via sound interface or the 3com gigaethernet.
But everything else work fine. (almost: my kernel always complains about irq
routing conflicts during boot).
