vt8251 support

[Jacobo Arvelo "UNIX4ALL"]

Hi all,

Im preparing a server with ubuntu 6.06 server edition.

I cant install it because it doesnt see the 2 sata2 drives ( Maxtor
DiamondMax ) that I plugged in the master of both sata channel ( 4
ports, ASUS P5V800-MX ) It doesnt work in raid mode or sata mode ( in
bios ).

Kernels 2.6.15 and onwards have support, with patches at viaarena
forums, please deliver patched isos ( maybe in the daily dapper drake
server isos ? ) with kernels that have full support for this controllers
( Dapper already have this ( ahci module ), but not functional, it works
in the beta cycle, but on release version not ).

( Im trying to install on RAID0 setup trought FakeRAID VIA BIOS, FreeBSD
6.1 works flawlessly with vt8251 and his raid, but I prefer Ubuntu
because I dont want to compile every time I have to update ports ).

At least, I want that it detect the drives and them, I install with
Linux software RAID.

Thanks
