Just a quick BIOS bug report -
I have this device working on a Dell R300 with BIOS version 1.2.0, but
when I upgrade the R300 BIOS to 1.4.3, it doesn't show up in the PCI
device listings. I tried with Silicon Image BIOS versions 7.4.05 and
7.7.02.
07:00.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3132 Serial ATA
Raid II Controller (rev 01)

I haven't tried the version of the same card which Dell sells -
http://search.dell.co.uk/1/2/13140-startech-com-2-port-pci-express-esata-controller-adapter-card-storage-controller-2-channel-esata-300-low-profile-pci-express-x1.html
but I'd expect the same results (both cards have just the sil3132 AKA
sii3132 chip, and an EEPROM with the silicon image BIOS onboard).
Incidentally, you can program the EEPROM on this chip under Linux (I
used Debian Squeeze) using the Silicon Image BIOS from
http://www.siliconimage.com/docs/SiI3132_7702.zip along with "flashrom"
from http://flashrom.org/
Cheers,
Tim.
