support for Lindy 51130?

support for Lindy 51130?

[Rodrigo Ventura]

Hello. I'm think about buying a Lindy 51130 SATA II controller. Does
anyone know what chipset does it use? Well, what I really wanna know
is whether it is supported by linux kernels.

Cheers,

Rodrigo Ventura

Hi,

According to http://www.lindy.com/de/downloads/manuals/51130.pdf
this card uses Sil3124 chipset.

http://linux.yyz.us/sata/sata-status.html#sii3124

Probably others know more details about current status
of Sil3124 support (Tejun?).

Thanks. According to the second link you gave, it seems well
supported.

Just to clarify things:

"Summary: Full TCQ/NCQ support, with full SATA control including
hotplug and PM."

These are _hardware_ features, they are not currently supported in
the vanilla kernels (however they are under active development).

"libata driver status: beta. "
                                ^^^^

That is why I said that others should know more details, I don't.

Hi, Rodrigo.  Hi, Bartlomiej.

Unfortunately, no NCQ / hotplug / PM support yet.  Just plain simple 
one-command-per-time support only.  However, Silicon Image guys have 
determined to be more open with open source and I think/hope things will 
improve soon.
