I have a Server here with no working SATA drives 

( Intel Server board SE7221BK1-E )

I've tried 2.6.11 and then 2.6.12-pre3 

*grumble intel bleading edge products*

anyway does anyone have any clue or patches that might make this beast
tick (I'm supposed to be installing a file server on Tuesday :(   )

if i get really desperate i might have to try the Redhat drivers - but
I don't really want software raid just pain SATA .....
 
attached is a lspci output 

any other info needed ? 

TIA
