I borrowed a disk drive out of my K6-III system to slip under the wire. ;-) Unfortunately, I have to use it for a while, since the SATA drivers for Linux don't work. :-(

Stock 2.4.29 kernel includes the Sil_3114 drivers. Include SCSI support
and look in the low level drivers. I'm using them on the K8W (same SATA
chipset) for a 4x120GB software RAID-5.

It may include them but they sure as hell don't work for me. Since Tyan
has admitted the problem...
