support for Lindy 51130?
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.

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.
