Personally I could not install gentoo 2005.1-r1 on ASUS A8N-VM mobo
(southbridge nVidia 410 MCP, + northbridge GF6100 graphics).

What kind of motherboard do you have? I have two older boards that it just
doesn't work on. I have a Tyan Tiger MPX and an ASUS A7M266-D. On both I
can install the OS by booting from the LiveCD on one system and using XP Pro
on the other system. The drives are seen and the install goes
Well, I have this controller - it arrived today. Did you have to do anything
to get I've booted the LiveCD and the controller is listed in lspci.
However, EVMS doesn't show any volumes nor does anything show up under scsi
in /dev/ I haven't found anything on the list or forum that has helped
Got it. I had to disable the onboard IDE - the docs indicated this
controller would coexist with the on-board but evidently it doesn't. I'll do
more research later. hopefully I can use one IDE on the motherboard so I can
have my DVDs on two separate busses.

I just bought this sata controller:
SYBA SY-VIA-150 PCI SATA /IDE Combo Controller Card, Non Raid
Cost was $11.60 at Newegg. Gives you two satas, one ide. Only has one sata
cable with it, and you will need sata power-adapters, depending on the sata
drives you buy. Works well with the following
Sata drives I am thrilled with are:
Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3300831AS 300GB 7200 RPM
At $131, seems to be good value for money. Quiet, good reputation.
Western Digital Raptor WD740GD 74GB 10,000 RPM
I have two of these set up in software RAID0. Lightening fast, quiet given
the speed.
2. Sata drives - what have you found to be reliable
and work well. I've
crossed Hitachi off my list because of my experience
with the Ultrastores.
Western Digital works OK for me.
in my .config:
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL=y
That is very nice to know. I like the price G. Thank you for this and the
drive info.

Thanks. I'll look at them. Anyone want any used IBM 36 Gig SCSI Ultra 3
drives G.

I have a system I need to upgrade from SCSI with an Adaptec 3210S RAID (I'm
using HItachi nee IBM SCSI Ultrastor drives which aren't holding up too well)
and am looking at going with SATA. Some input from the those with
recommendations or experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mark, for the info. Sounds like I need to avoid ATI G. I'm in a
position where I have a motherboard that doesn't support SATA so I can either
go IDE or SATA and going SATA appears to be the future way. That means I
have to add a card.
Wat the Promise used on a Linux system?
Sounds

I'd love to keep this card (it has 256MB of ram, too) but the problem is that
it's running six IBM/Hitachi Ultrastore drives - all of which are useless.
They keep going bad and even though they are under warranty and get replaced
I can't build a system that keeps working for any period of
