This chip is not currently supported by Fedora Core. You would basically
have to merge a patch, rebuild the kernel rpms, then rebuild the distro.
It is easier than it sounds, but I am not sure on the current stability of
that driver, when libata was last merged, it was broken on a large
percentage of systems.
i think the siimage.c patch is okay to merge, but not the sata_sil.c
patch.
i can merge patches, rebuild the kernel rpms, but i'm not sure how to
rebuild the distro. is that documented anywhere?
thanks
