in general, the Sil 311x is considered very slow
and 'crappy' but it should be supported quite fine
http://www.tyan.com/archive/products/html/gx28b2882_spec.html
looking at the specs for the GX28 I see AMD chipsets
which 'might' lack proper support, the Sil 3114 there
is also connected to the legacy 32bit bus and does
only support SATA 1.0, so I wouldn#t expect too much
from that ...
