[geeks] SCSI vs SATA (update)

[Kevin]

I didn't put much work or research into this, as it was a VERY
low priority project.  I would like to do more research into this
at a later date, but time restraints dictate otherwise at the
moment.

I just enabled the kernel driver for Silicon Image controllers in
2.6.5.  If you have to enable additional items in the stock 2.6.5
kernel in order to use libata, then i was not using it.
