Well, I don't actually personally want it (I have nothing connected to it, nor any intention of connecting anything in the future), I just want my bog-standard PIIX driver to not do the scary things to me. "Mommy, mommy, the IDE messages/behaviour is scaring me!" I just mentioned the Marvell chip because apart from those two (unused) chips, the box is absolutely and utterly bog-standard Intel-everything. The i965 may still be somewhat unusual right now, but that's going to change, and if there's something strange going on, we should try to fix it asap. It could be a one-off thing (knock wood), but on the other hand, I've only been using this machine for a couple of weeks now, and I can't remember seeing anything even remotely similar on my other machines (including the earlier-generation i945 SATA setup that I've had a lot longer). So I worry that it's something i965-specific, and that will be a _very_ common chipset soon enough. One data-point that may or may not be relevant: the afore-mentioned i945 machine that I've had longer is otherwise reasonably similar, but the DVD drive on that one is in legacy mode. Not that I see why it should matter (the problem happened on the harddisk, not the DVD)...
