[mythtv-users] Serial ATA and Gentoo

[Joe Votour]

I've never used Gentoo, but Serial ATA device support
is in the kernel.  As far as I know, there aren't any
userspace tools required for it.

The later Linux 2.4 kernels have support for the
Silicon Image SATA chipset - my motherboard has one
integrated, and although I've never had any drives
connected to it, the chip is at least recognized.

There are some binary-only drivers for some other
chipsets (notably HighPoint), but I don't know how
recent of a distribution they support (when I was
shopping for my motherboard, I wanted to make sure
that there was a decent driver for SATA, should I end
up using it at some point).
