   There are a number of s150 cards.  The non raid controllers should 
just work with 2.6, or a 2.4 kernel with libata patched in.  The S150 
tx2 just works for me with a patch 2.4, and with an unpatched 2.6.

PS-  If you are compiling your own kernel look under scsi--> scsi 
low_level_drivers for the sata drivers.
