I've tried Mepis and Ubuntu (64Bit). Both had no probs autodetecting and working with SATA. Even without installation (LiveCD) i.e.

Well with Live CD there should never be a problem becuase they are not installed on the system and they will work even if there is no hard disk (either SATA or PATA) but when it comes to installing on hard disk there is detection problem of SATA. I have tried with Knoppix/Mepis (32 bit)LIVS Cds and they should and they work fine. But when I tried installing Mepis on hard disk, it did not detect SATA. I also tried with Suse 9.1 personnel (32 bit) edition, same problem again.
I dont know how to install SATA IDE controller in Linux instalation. Is there any 32 or 64 bit version of Linux which have inbuilt SATA IDE controller in Linux kernel (atleast for MY Sata controller Silicon Image SIL-3114). Else how SATA drive can be made recognised for any Linux installation. Godblessedson |

PS: I was able to detect SATA both off LiveCD and after HD installation. Mepis auto mounted the NTFS drives from SATA and I remember playing Mp3's from these drives. No write access though. -Keith
