| 312680 | 2005-01-10 01:00:00 | Hey, Is there a list somewhere of what motherboards are fully compatible with the latest Linux Kernels? I am trying to find whether my board will support SATA drives in linux. It does in windows, with an extra driver? MSI KM4M-V See Here (www.msi.com.tw) Any ideas? |

| 312683 | 2005-01-10 01:14:00 | Yes Linux supports your mother board for sata. You need a kernel that is newer than 2.3 and with via sata support compiled in. Sata support is under (in menuconfig) Device Drivers > Scsi Device Support > SCSi low-level drivers Then compile VIA sata support into the kernel (a star not a M) |

| 312686 | 2005-01-10 01:24:00 | Hi Ash I just took a wee look around the VIA driver page, and there appear to be drivers available for your SATA chipset controller VT8237, for Fedora. Just go here (www.viaarena.com) and follow your nose. |

| 312688 | 2005-01-10 01:29:00 | Easiest way to find out is to google for the chipset, and "modprobe" because you "modprobe" to load the drivers.... www.google.com So I would say yes :-) |
