Yes, I think I've learned this over the last few days. The Silicon Image
chip is the most supported one, followed not so closely by anything
else? I also found an Intel MB with SATA support working for Redhat.
Anything with an Intel 875P chipset apparently.

I've also tried writing a couple of SATA developers but haven't received
a reply yet.

Are you using raid? We do not want to, so I just want to make sure that
there is no requirement to use raid. (I don't imagine there is, but just
being careful.)
