I'm not totally sure about the status of the SATA on the Intel right now. I was under the impression it was very similar to the PATA.
For some of the others its a bit variable: HPT some people report work some dont Promise 20376 - Promise have a GPL driver but there are integration things to resolve (mostly our end not theirs) SI 3112 - Now works well with almost all drives. 3Ware SATA raid - works
