I have a Supermicro motherboard H8DAR-T with this Marvell controller on it. It boots just fine off a SATA drive (a single drive, no array configuration). You need the stock sata_mv driver. It is already in the kernel, and the etch netinst disk. However it isn't in the initramfs, so you have to change that per my earlier posting. -- Bhaskar
