Hello,
I use
RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 0649 Ultra ATA/100 PCI to ATA
Host Controller (rev 02)
which is working stright away (this ATA-133 controller). I do not have any
problems using it with conjunction with the onboard controller. If you give
me lspci with this card in the box we can start looking for right kernel
drivers
