boot issue sil3114 controller


Hello,
I have an A8N5X motherboard running Suse10 with a pci Sata controller (sil3114 chipset). Installtion went fine BUT when I connect the hard drives to the Sata controller the OS (any kind of OS as a matter of fact, tried it with bsd and linux) doesn't load. The computer starts the booting procedure: loads bios, detects hard drives attached to the motherboard, then it loads the sil3114 controller, lists drives attached followed with a "no valid device" message and nothing happens .
I just want to use the controller as a sata extention I don't need the raid feature. When I go in the configuration utility of the s3114 it just gave me the choice between Create RAID, delete RAID, Rebuild RAID and low level format so I suppose that Sata is set to default.

any ideas?

Any Help much apprciated

A friend of mine told me to have a look at the fstab entries. The OS runs on an IDE hard disk, data drives on sata. Apparently installing the controller affected somehow the disks priorities. I'll look in to that
