this is what google had to say :) http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=351495 http://www.leenooks.com/Silicon+Image+311x+sata+controllers+and+some+Seagate+disks in general, the Sil 311x is considered very slow and 'crappy' but it should be supported quite fine http://www.tyan.com/archive/products/html/gx28b2882_spec.html looking at the specs for the GX28 I see AMD chipsets which 'might' lack proper support, the Sil 3114 there is also connected to the legacy 32bit bus and does only support SATA 1.0, so I wouldn#t expect too much from that ...
