Bob, I believe libata is missing from the gs patchset -- that may be the reason for my sata woes as well. Thoughts?
how about using kernel 2.6 ?

News: * will freeze current codebase as libata 1.0, without queueing support. libata 2.x development has already begun, and will support queueing, sata2, and will build upon the existing codebase. * ServerWorks seems stable, will remove 'beta' label soon Notes: * Silicon Image support is still considered to be unstable. drivers/ide's siimage.c is preferred. * Silicon Image users with Seagate SATA, particularly if you know if you have the "mod15write" bug, should make sure that the driver is properly applying the errata fix.
afaik gentoo-2.4.22-r5 supports s-ata drivers
the 2004.0 release uses the updated sources, so this bug should be fixed.
