I own a PC with a Via VT6420 sata controller (PCI card) and another one with a Via sata embedded controller: both boxes do not boot with kernel 2.6.18 and/or 2.6.19.2 2.6.20-rc5. While looking forward to hear good news from You very soon, please let me know if it's proper to contact You via this email address. TYFYA Luca Gazzolo
