I tried with the liveCD bu also couldn't get the card working,...then i've put my sata drive into external usb 2.0 case and installed gentoo with my laptop because it's a lot faster...so i've compiled every sata support i could find, scsi emulation and all that crap that suppose to work...but it doesn't, :Update 2005/04/15: Support for the NCQ-capable SATAII TX2/TX4 boards was recently added. NCQ support is waiting on libata core.

VFS cannot boot...blah blah (0,0)
root fs on unknown block device (0,0)Code: Select all
block device /dev/sda3 is not a valid root device
the root block device is unspecified or not detected
please specify device to boot or shell
boot():nothing worked...i've read all the topics on this, most frequent problem for this is the sata drivers or scsi low level drivers...i've got both included into my kernel and not as modules...
i'cant find a reason why this should not work if it should be supported...
trying to install hardened-sources-2.6.11-r15 & also hardened-2.6.13 should i try any other kernel, perhaps?
i'm using udev, hotplug,coldplug...is installed
