I meant sata_via, I dunno why I said sata_sil; Freudian typo. I was thinking of the current sii3112 I use, which has been stable and blazingly fast for awhile with the IDE driver--and a little little patch I keep applying. I'm looking to upgrade a server with 2 Raptors in it to an A64 running 64-bit Linux of course. I wanna get the HDs off the PCI bus and onto the VT8237 southbridge. I was wondering if the driver for -that southbridge- was still considered beta.
