I just bought this sata controller: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
SYBA SY-VIA-150 PCI SATA /IDE Combo Controller Card, Non Raid |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Cost was $11.60 at Newegg. Gives you two satas, one ide. Only has one sata |
| 6 |
cable with it, and you will need sata power-adapters, depending on the sata |
| 7 |
drives you buy. Works well with the following kernel settings. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
CONFIG_SCSI=y |
| 10 |
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y |
| 11 |
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VIA=y |
| 12 |
CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=y |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Good luck. |
