 Anybody using Debian amd64 with Segate HDD and Silicon 3112 SATA

Sorry, I use WD drives with my Sil3112, which works fine.  I won't touch
seagate disks at the moment, especially given what I read from the linux
ide guy.  It seemed that in his opinion the first seagate sata drives
had bugs in the sata implementation that were bad enough that they
should never have released it.  Not sure if they have gotten it right
since, but it didn't make me want to run out and buy one.

Does it detect the drives at all?  Do you have bios software raid
disabled (like you should normally)?  Does it detect the controller?

The newer ones are fine. I have two ST3300831AS and they work great.

Good to know it was fixed eventually.

Certainly the message I just saw a link to today seems to show there was
a real problem: http://home-tj.org/m15w/
