Conclusion as for SATA Freebsd6: Good: SII 3114 r2 Bad: SII 3512 r1, VIA 8237A r128 Question is then about 'SII 3512 r2' .. For ms-xp, linux debian4: SII3512 r1 working. The SII 3112A datasheet specifies: "revision 01H is defined for SiI3112A rev 1.1 and revision 02H is defined for SiI3112A rev 1.21." Guess I have to do the reliable thing and use 3ware, Promise, Highpoint etc.. Any recommendation on this?
