I have the task of setting up a cluster for a customer that each node
contains an InfiniServ HCA and a Silicon Image SATA chipset (Sil3112).

Pertinent lspci output:

01:05.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. (formerly CMD Technology Inc) Silicon Image SiI 3114 SATARaid Controller (rev 02)
02:03.0 PCI bridge: Mellanox Technology MT23108 PCI Bridge (rev a1)
03:00.0 InfiniBand: Mellanox Technology MT23108 InfiniHost (rev a1)

The problem I have is getting proper driver support for both pieces of
hardware at the same time.  The SATA chipset seems to be supported in
2.6 kernels and 2.4 kernels starting with 2.4.27.  However, InfiniCon
doesn't seem to have any released drivers for those kernels and I was
wondering if openib might be a good solution for me?

Thanks,
Bryan
