    HWINFO should give you all the info you need, and can be installed from your package manager if not already installed. Try

    hwinfo --storage-ctrl

    should show you the storage controllers installed on your machine.

    Re: Need new SATA ports for old pc?

    Check with "lspci" to see if the hardware has been detected.

    Check with "lsmod" to see if the driver (sata_sil, i think) has been loaded.

    Re: Need new SATA ports for old pc?

    Josh, you're getting that error because Ubuntu can't resolve the hostname to download the package from. Presumably because your Internet is down.

    I'm not a linux expert, however
    03:03.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 02)
    That looks like it.
    So it does seem to have found it.

    Normally I'd agree, but the card that Josh linked to uses the Sil3124 chipset, so something odd is going on.


    Output of lsmod?

    Hmm... I think this card needs sata_sil24 as well as sata_sil

    What does

    modprobe -l | grep sata_sil24

    return?

    ok, so the drivers are present in the kernel as expected. You still can't see the drives?

    Ubuntu has some pretty nifty features, It might not pick it up first time, but it should install drivers itself, not a bad idea, but wouldn't it be easier to upgrade to a decent INTEL mobo that has around 8 ports itself,...
