It is not working with my external SATA enclosure housing a WD 250 GB Caviar drive. The first error I see in dmesg is about the cache line size not being set. I tried unloading the sata_sil and libata modules, then "sudo setpci -s 03:00.0 CACHE_LINE_SIZE=08" then reloading them - but I still can't see the drive and I still get the "PIO error" / "failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error)" errors below in the dmesg output. Any ideas? From lspci -v : 03:00.0 Mass storage controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3512 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: Silicon Image, Inc.
