I have been considering buying some computers systems based on the SiS735 chipset (specifically the ECS K7S5A motherboard), but was disturbed by reports in late October (http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0110.3/0465.html) of repeatable file corruption when running linux on these systems. This would be about the time of the 2.4.13 kernel.
There was no report (that I can find, at least) of this problem ever being fixed. Has it been fixed? The person who originally reported the problem has also not heard anything about the problem being fixed, and is preparing to spend a significant amount of money on swapping out the ECS motherboards for other boards.
This chipset and motherboard appear to make a very good, low cost system, but I can't use it if I don't know for sure that the Linux kernel supports the IDE subsystem properly.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
