Description: description: RAID bus controller
product: SiI 3114 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller
vendor: Silicon Image, Inc. (formerly CMD Technology Inc)
*************
The above controller that is on the Dual Opteron Tyan MOBO doesnt seem to be recognised in FC4. I have tried the linux drivers that have come with the card but it only talks about redhat 7/8/9 compatibility. Can these drivers be upgraded? What is a United Linux driver? Can that be used?
thanks

I've got this controller on a DFI LanParty NF2 Ultra B board (nForce 2 Ultra chipset) and it seems to work fine with the sata_sil driver. I haven't tried to use the RAID support, since the kernel's software raid is working fine for me (ans is more portable in case of a hardware failure).

Bought this as a generic add on pci card.
lspci :
Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 02)
gives 4 internal SATA I ports.
Needs no additional drivers, recognised by OS on boot.
No info on RAID performance, as I'm just using LVM.
