    Hi to all.
    I recently got MiNt PCI IDE ATA/133 RAID controller based on SiI 0680
    chipset. I browsed through the archives and I know that the driver is
    known to be broken and simply doesn't work.

    That was some time ago, meanwhile there were some fixes/hdparm
    almost-solutions, but none of them seems to work. I remember that
    Andre Hendrick said he's talking with SiI guys to find a final
    solution, but no more info after that...

    Therefore my question is: what is the current status of this driver?
    Are there any patches available? Or I will have to just buy another
    controller? (No problems with HPT or Promise?)

    t.

    ps. my problems are "standard" (lost interrupts, timeouts, read_intr
    errors etc.) and were described on this list by several other people.
    I use almost vanilla 2.4.22 (only with Openwall patches)
