Two drives are attached the controller, configured for mdraid in Linux. Upon installation of grub-1.98 and the subsequent reboot I was faced with a "no such disk"-error when accessing md0. Accessing the drives directly gave "out of disk" errors. With the help of #grub on freenode I tried running grub-emu and also starting up grub using qemu. None of these aproaches showed any problems, and could see and access the drives without problems. After *much* fiddling I ended up re-arranging my drives so that I am no longer using this controller. And now everything is just dandy again. If there is an interest in making this card work, I can offer modest testing, but more importantly I can donate the card to a GRUB developer. I no longer have need for it, and if I could contribute back this way I'd be glad. (bear in mind that I am not subscribed to this list) The details of the card: 01:06.0 Mass storage controller [0180]: Silicon Image, Inc.
