    I'm trying to install FC3 on an AMD NX1750S Geode board which
    has the SiS 741CX + 963 (or 962) NB/SB chipset.

    I couldn't get any of the drivers to recognize the IDE controller in
    "native" mode, so I put them into Legacy mode and managed to
    install...

    I then went back and put the controller into "Native" mode, but
    when I reboot the system panics because it can't find any logical
    volumes to mount... which I suspect is because the kernel sis5513
    driver doesn't recognize the chipset.

    Are there any known issues with the sis5513 drivers? And will
    the disk have been written differently in Legacy mode versus
    Native mode? Or should it still be consistent either way in the
    case that I do manage to get the sis5513 drivers to recognize the
    controller...

    Because if they don't, then I'd have to reinstall from scratch and
    it might not be worth the trouble.

    Is there any advantage to using the controllers in Native mode over
    Legacy mode?

    Thanks,

    -Philip
