Well I don't own one of these things, but it looks like the SATA stuff goes through the JMicron chip, while the RAID is provided by the 975. It should be possible to get working, but I expect you'll have trouble with installation. It looks like the JMicron SATA support was added in 2.6.18, so I wouldn't really expect the 2006.1 liveCD to use the chip optimally, if at all. You might end up hunting down a different live CD, needing to stage it on a different system, or something else similarly difficult. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
