Can someone (Alan?) give me some help on this.
What is the current status of this driver?
The Story:
I just purchased a PCI card for an older computer
so I cd. hook up a couple of external SATA's to it.
The card uses the INI-1623 chip:
[root@neuron ~]# lspci | fgrep Ini
02:0b.0 SATA controller: Initio Corporation INI-1623 \
PCI SATA-II Controller (rev 02)
When I boot the machine, the BIOS sees the 1TB drive on that card.
It's also seen by the OS. However, what looks like a driver
error occurs. This is from /var/log/dmesg:

The board advertised linux compatibility so (foolish me) I bought it
w/o asking on this list. The supplied driver on the Manu. site is for
kernel version 2.6.15 --- useless for the F8 system running on the
target machine (2.6.25.11-60.fc8).
Googling, I find that th LBA48 stuff was a "known problem" about a
year ago and people were working on it. Do any of you know if there
is a working patch or a workaround?
