Not only is their no support for that controller, there is also no driver
that appears to work under Fedora Core 4...I compiled the driver from the
source code that ABIT has and it fails when the drives are under high load
(drives time out and never come back)..
I've had a nice server with an ABIT SU-2S sitting around for months doing
nothing because of this...
You also won't get any support from Marvell because they do not support end
users...
Good luck - My solution to the problem is likely going to be to sell my
motherboard and start over...

Subject: Fedora Core 4 Test 2 64-bit - SATA Problem
I recently installed Fedora Core 4 Test 2 64-bit on a Supermicro 7044H-TR
server. It has a Super X6DHT-G motherboard which has a 6300ESB SATA
controller onboard. I also have a Marvell 88SX6081 SATA controller
installed.
I had no problems with the onboard 6300ESB controller. I was able to see
the
hard drives hooked to it during install and use them. My problem lies
with
the Marvell controller. After installation I am unable to see any of the
drives I have attached to the Marvell controller. In total I have 10 sata
drives in the system, 2 are attached to the onboard controller and 8 are
attached to the Marvell controller. When I do an lsmod I see that the
ata_piix module is being used by 10 devices, but there are only dev files
for
sda/sdb, the two drives hooked to the onboard controller. Any suggestions
would be a great help, thanks in advance.
