Hi all,
I've recently acquired some more hard drives and I just plugged one in to the secondary SATA ports on my motherboard for the first time. However, my Gentoo box isn't seeing it. I have an Abit AN8-32X motherboard (the other drives are on the Nvidia SATAII controller). For info about the board, go here:

In make menuconfig (from the kernel I am running right now (2.6.18)): <*> Silicon Image chipset support
I'm have 2.6.19 handy, and I see, Device Drivers ---> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support ---> < > Silicon Image chipset support but also, Device Drivers ---> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers ---> < > Silicon Image SATA support < > Silicon Image 3124/3132 SATA support I think the latter is what you might need. Its the new libata... reworked IDE... thingy. I haven't followed it that closely, but this link might be of interest, http://lwn.net/Articles/198344/ -Jamie
