Hi people, I'm trying to install a Debian testing to a Proliant ML150 G2 box. This hardware has a Adaptec HostRaid 8130 SATA Galileo/SATA II PI-X. However, this card has the Marvell Chip, and the lspci give: 0000:03:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. MV88SX6041 4-port SATA II PCI-X Controller (rev 07) I have used the debian-installer from March 18th that comes with the 2.6.15 version. The installer uses your sata_mv module. The module detects the controller and the hd, however all is very slow and I'm having a lot of of timeouts during the access to the hard disk. The device is unusable. I have not tried yet to test the Marvell driver [1], however, I have found that this driver have been moved to a GPLv2 version [2]. Otherwise, talking about the sata_mv, I would like to know what I have to do to help to improve the driver because it doesn't work with my hardware? Regards, Leo Pd. If Marvell have a GPL v2 driver, maybe it could be a good idea to include it in the kernel tree?
