Subject: Serial ATA (sii3512a) support

Hello everyone. I'm just wondering what the status is for the Silicon
Image 3512a serial ata support is.
I was using gentoo-sources 2.6.12 my Seagate drives worked fine. I'm
now running a gentoo-sources 2.6.15-r1 and support has broken. The same
thing with gentoo-sources 2.6.17-r8. I've added my drives to the
sata_sil.c black list (one of them was missing) but I still get
"Abnormal status 0x58 on port ..." errors. Which essentially crashes my
machine.
Unfortunately I don't have the 2.6.12 kernel from Gentoo any more as I
did a emerge --sync and it got rid of it. Also some of the other
drivers I'm using need more recent kernel versions.
Just some notes on my MB/chipsets. I've got a Gigabyte GA-7N400Pro2
with an nForce2 chipset. It has a on board SATA which the manual says
is a Sil3112 but the bios reports it as a Sil3512a. I've got a single 6
gig IDE as my boot device and root dir. There are also two SATA drives
both are Seagates. One is a ST3250823AS (250 gigs) and a ST3120026AS
(120 gigs). I know the Seagate drives have some issues and hence the
black list.
Just wondering if there is anything I can do to make these things work
in some of the latest kernels. Thanks for you help.
