Hey,
 I have a Sil3114 PCI card with four sata drives attached which uses
the sata_sil driver. The card has its own POST which should show up
just after the bios screen. Check there that the disk is showing up
and being passed on as a legacy type disk rather than a raid volume.
 I haven't had to play in it myself, but using a different card disks
with a valid partition table are passed through and new disks are held
as raid candidates. This might be what's happening here.

cheers,
Owen.

When the system boots, the Utility does come up, and the disk shows in
the list, but I don't know how to tell whether or not the disk is
showing as a RAID drive or as legacy. Do I need to go into the utility
to find this information?
Thanks for your help. I'd like to get this running.

Jack
