ViPower VP-9601 PCI SATA Controller


Hi All,

I have bought ViPower VP-9601 Serial ATA PCI Host card Controller. When I plugged in the card, the system detected it and installed it automatically, here is the output of lspci...

Quote:
# lspci
00:0a.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. (formerly CMD Technology Inc) SiI 3112 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 02)
Then I bought a Western Digital HDD, and when i plugged it in, the system didn't detect any disk drives, neither an ordinary disk drive (hde) nor a SCSI drive (sda). So any help would be appreciated, or even a link on how to deal with extra drives.

Thnx in advance...

Ok, i have figured out the problem and now it is working fine, i just added the sata_sil module using modprobe

Quote:
modprobe sata_sil
and it directly appeared in /dev/sda
