Noticed it yet its not the best driver around, but its weird it almost
can initialize 1 device on the controller (sdb), and the rest totally fails.
Tried to put each disk in a JBOD, but that doesn't fix it neither.
Anyway thank you for the reply. Think i'll get some better controller :)

Onderwerp: sata_mv not working with a RocketRaid 2220

Hello,
I'm trying to get my HighPoint RocketRaid Controller working with the
sata_mv drivers.
But something is not working correctly :(
Kernel version 2.6.23.11 (also tried 2.6.24-rc5 with same results)
Controller in lspci: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. MV88SX6081 8-port
SATA II PCI-X Controller (rev 07)
..
The sata_mv driver is currently not very good,
but should improve over this winter as some effort
is finally going into fixing it.
And the Highpoint RocketRAID cards are a similarly dubious choice,
as their onboard BIOS is known to corrupt filesystems before Linux
is even booted.
In particular, an "unconfigured" drive -- just plugged into a RR card
without entering the BIOS setup to configure a RAID -- gets sector 8
overwritten by the BIOS. This will destroy GRUB if it was installed.
And for drives which *have* been configured in the RR BIOS,
it overwrites a sector at the end of the final full GB on the drive,
for holding RR metadata.
Cheers
