Yea I keep reading things that say SATA is supported but just as many other things saying it's not. Seems like different SATA cards are supported at varying levels (hardware level, software talking to BIOS level, this "fakeraid" stuff, etc. etc) and people are maybe taking that as "not supported" ? So it's the hardware makers, not Linux, that's causing the issue ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR><B><I>Jesse Becker <jesse_becker@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px;
