Please, could you confirm this? It is a Marvell Chip. lspci gives me this: :03:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. MV88SX6041 4-port SATA II PCI-X Controller (rev 07) I do not know about the driver. I just know, that in Kernel 2.8.15 there was support for this controller, but it was marked highly experimentel and I found it unstable. Perhaps this changed with Kernel 2.8.16, but I have not tried it, yet. For your other questions I have no answers, sorry. But perhaps you have a look on this post: http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2006/03/msg00356.html The post is about the same sata controller.

Installing Debian on sata drive with adaptec aic-8130 controller V2
Hi, sorry if not is the correct list, but I have found than this issue have been threaded before [1] and I have a some aspects not very clear, I would like to ask to the list about it. We have bought a HPProliant ML150 G2 that comes with a RAID controller. This raid controller is a Adaptec HostRaid 8130 SATA Galileo/SATA II PI-X. 1) I have found some people that says that this controller is the _same_ (or can use) [2] the Marvell 88SX6541-BCZ driver. Please, could you confirm this? 2) in many places I see that the card is named my the vendor Hercules, but I found Galileo. It's the same? 3) I couldn't to use the raid because I have only a HD. The newest installers detect my only disk, but when I try to install it all is very slow, and dmesh show a lot of timeouts errors from the ata driver. I think that I have the same behavior that [3], but the bug is marked as done. However I used a full cd from Thursday 16 March and I don't know if the bus is repaired. 4) I have found BIOS RAID support on Linux 2.6.x with dmraid [4], and maybe it could be a solution for who wants to use the raid. Someone have used it? And well, the last one, (sorry for all the questions) it's worsewhile to install a amd64 debian version in a this box that comes with a xeon with emt? Best regards, and thank's in advance.
