I'm curious if this version will expand chipset support to include more of the SiS chips - primarily 965L. The current 6.10 release can't seem to see any SATA or IDE controllers.

As I understand it this may have something to do with SATA software RAID support in newer chipsets.
Here are some drive workaround ideas:

I'm building a PC Chips A33G system with SiS 965L Southbridge and 761GX Northbridge with built-in SiS video. They don't have Linux or Vista drivers. The previous generation 741GX video worked fine with all Linux distros I tried, I hope the new video is usable.

Well, actually if you go to SiS's website instead of PC Chips you can get the drivers...at least the source code. Then you need to compile it yourself.
Also, I don't know about the RAID stuff. I'm not using RAID...however, I gave up on Linux and just installed Windows XP Professional and MediaPortal instead. No problems there...
