in my experience, I've learned that SiL should go out of business Eeeh? There are MANY board equiped with Sil-3114 chip (Abit, Tyan....), some of them are really good, expensive and new ones. If kernel tree still supports (for example) S3 video cards, it would be at least not too nice to left users with good MOBO's out of the game, just because of a few lines of source code... or not? And impossibility to boot from a decent SATA disk Linux distro is quite close to the policy of M.... - if your hardware does not work with out sw - throw it away and buy new one...! Problem solved by hw: after re-flashing of BIOS to the newest one + setting 'PNP OS' = 'Yes' it works flawlessly. |
