Hey all, after some googling, grepping, etc. I'm still at a loss to determine if the forthcoming 5.1-RELEASE (or 5.x-RELEASE for that matter) will have support for the recently released Canterwood/Springdale platforms--notably the S-ATA functionality of ICH5? I looked at the CVS repo and saw some comments and deltas in the ATA code which added PCI Ids and a few other cursory mentions of S-ATA but I'm not expert enough to know from reading the code if ICH5's S-ATA is supported or not. Have there been any northbridge issues encountered by people? Have people tried to install 5.x or 4.8-STABLE on a Canterwood/Springdale (i875/i865--perhaps one of the Abit IC7 or Asus P4C800 moboards)? If so, what was the success level? I'm in the market for a new system and am looking to see when/if support for this platform will hit the tree and if it's already there if there are any gotchas.
