Hello, I'm in the process of selecting new computers, and I'm tempted by an ASUS P4P800, with Seagate SATA disks. After googling a bit, it seems that the ICH5 is indeed supported in SATA mode from the 4.9-Release (perhaps also 5.1 ?) (at least the chip is correctly identified by <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-pci.c?annotate=1.32.2.17>) The driver seems to be a bit fragile, if this message is to be relied on : <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2003-November/004796.html>; Under Linux, the SATA support also is very recent : <http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg223000.html>; it should be included in 2.4.23 So the question is : is there some actual, positive, experience in using the above combination, and with which stability ? Cheers TfH
