In my X5000/20 i have 2 PCIe->PCI->SATA controllers which work (although a slow solution) - in case of X5000/40 the MediaToolbox does not list sii3512ide.device as an option (it is enabled in the Kicklayout file) - any suggestions? Is this device no longer supported?

I'm not sure, but I think it should be supported.

I have a 3112 in mine, working just fine.

Do you have a serial link set up, so you can check the serial output when booting? Any error messages relating to the 3512 in there?

Best regards,

Niels

Is it directly set into the PCI slot?
I do not have a serial link-up - but I just ordered one - meantime I'll see if I can resolve the problem without it.....

Yes - if you mean not via a bridge.

Okay. When you get the serial (nullmodem) cable, let's get back to whatever may be shown in the output.

Do check your Kickstart/ drawer to make sure that the file "sii3512ide.device.kmod" is there. It also has to be included in the Kicklayout file - you should have a line saying:
"MODULE sii3512ide.device.kmod"
