Not good! the kernel might not have had drivers compiled in for the card, or maybe it just wasn't where it expected. I would recommend to anyone not to put ATAPI cd rom drives on PCI or PCI-X boards -- it seems to make them unhappy. My SIL 680 wouldn't even let the computer boot with a CDRW on the off-board controller. > > To upgrade to 64-bit gentoo, I had to recable my box so that my > > primary HD and the SONY were attached to the mobo. yeah... > > My rating of the SII card? "OK -- sort of". I have good things to say about the PCI0680 Ultra ATA-133 Host Controller (rev 02). I bought it about 3 years ago, and use it for important data on my server. I am also very happy with the SiI 3512 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 01). It looks like the version number is quite a bit higher than yours, but I didn't have any nasty problems with it, and have been running 2.6.22 from Nov 6, but don't use any RAID and, as I said, the model is different. I still think of the Silicon Image line of budget controllers to be a good choice for value buys. The SATA I bought is now selling for $10.85 on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815124006R > > Regards, > > > > David > > > > > Hello, > > problem is, that my mobo has no other SATA Ports.
