А нельзя ли поподробнее? А то я вот тут нашел всякие страшилки:

http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html:

Intel ICH5 / ICH5R family — supported in 2.4.22 and later kernels using the 
stock kernel ATA piix driver (but that driver locks up in many cases), and 
also (much more reliably) in the ata_piix driver in Jeff Garzik's libata 
driver set, which is now (2004-02-25) of production quality. Alleged RAID is 
proprietary software RAID

То есть использовать piix не рекомендуют из-за нестабильной работы, в другом 
месте того же документа еще сказано что он на 10% медленнее ata_piix, который 
в альтовых ядрах 2.4 есть (патч libata), но...

Among other things, you'll need to disable all kernel ATA support, since 
libata uses the kernel's SCSI layers:  http://gkernel.bkbits.net/ or 
(somewhat easier to deal with) Garzik's periodic patchkits at 
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/patchkits/.

I gather that libata is the only way to support SATA drives larger than 133GB. 
(libata supports the necessary "lba48" ATA addressing extension starting with 
kernel revision 2.6.5-rc2.) Also, Garzik has hotplug, random taskfile 
submission (SMART support), and ATAPI under development for libata as of 
2004-04-24. Last, Garzik has drivers for SATA-2 controllers under development 
as of 2004-03-30.

То есть без libata диски >133GB все равно работать не будут, но с libata не 
будет работать обычный ATA. А как же обычные PATA диски? А CD-ROM?

Кошмар какой-то. Вроде технологии уже второй год пошел, а нормальной поддержки 
под линуксом нету? Куда же пошли миллиарды от IBM? Счетной палаты на них 
нет...
