Then it recognizes the chipset and seems to work so far. The only annoyance is that the driver hangs for some seconds probing the second port (which is unused): SiI3112 Serial ATA: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:0a.0 PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 0000:00:0a.0 SiI3112 Serial ATA: chipset revision 1 SiI3112 Serial ATA: 100% native mode on irq 5 ide2: MMIO-DMA , BIOS settings: hde:DMA, hdf:DMA ide3: MMIO-DMA , BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio Probing IDE interface ide2... hde: SAMSUNG SP1614C, ATA DISK drive ide2 at 0xd0800080-0xd0800087,0xd080008a on irq 5 Probing IDE interface ide3... hdg: no response (status = 0xfe) But one can live with that.
