Hi Jeff,
The patch you submitted back in May 2007 you called "Add Marvell 6141

Initially all seems fine, I can see the attached drives in /dev and
fdisk and mkfs.ext3 seem to work OK.
Then I tried putting the drives into a RAID 5 array using
mdadm and it all went pear-shaped - see output from dmesg etc attached.
Hi Andy, I am not Jeff, unforturnately... :) But I just wanted to confirm that
what you have seen is exactly what I learned and posted last summer (2007-08-04
10:11:48 GMT). At the time, I tried all kernels and branches I could get my
hands on.
Also I would not mind helping, but similar to you, I have not any knowledge
about the sata subsystem. But I can certainly test etc.
In order to get into trouble, it seams that exercising more than one disk at
the same time on the interface "does it". - i.e. one doesn't have to go raid.
Mark is currently working on improving sata_mv support. Mark, are you
working on ahci flavored marvells too?
