[wellylug] SATA with Linux

[Jamie Dobbs]

I am running Gentoo with kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 and want to add an SATA
controller and drive(s) to my PC (as I am out of IDE interfaces!).

The SATA controller I am looking at is the Sunix SATA2000, which uses a
Silicon Image Sil3112a chipset (Silicon Image SataLink Sil3112CT144
according to http://www.elx.com.au/item/elsPCI-SATA-2P).

Can anyone tell me if this particular controller will work and where I can
find relevant information on setting it up in the Kernel.

Cheers and TIA

Jamie
