SATA detection-SOLVED?

[Tony Alfrey]

Went down to Fry's, ready to buy a new muthaboard.
Looked around on the shelf for SATA controllers, knowing now that SIIG 
is the same as S#IT.  Found some obscure box from someplace called SYBA 
with a two-port SATA controller that happened to have the words "SIL3112 
Chipset" *not* on the box itself, but on the Fry's *price sticker*.  So 
I says "WTF, it's either this cheap thing or a new muthaboard".

Take it home, plug it in and fire up the box:  immediately all kindsa 
stuff on POST declaring "SATA RAID CONTROLLER SETUP" yada yada yada. 
What do I know about that?  Hell, no, I just let it continue to boot. 
Stick in the SuSE disk with the sata_sil driver, and BANG, off we go.

So we'll see if I can partition the disks and load FC-6 next.
