Jeff / all - Jeff is (again) 100% correct with comments - the sata_mv.c I used from Kumar's 2.6.23 Powerpc tree is very *close*, but not exactly the same as the sata_mv.c in the 'official' 2.6.23.1 tree. I have verified that I now can access my disks behind the 7042 chip with the 'mainline' 2.6.23.1 (and my bsp)... Sorry for the false alarm - thank you Jeff for pointing me in the right direction with this!
