Thanks for the information. I am using the Marvell8sx driver on a vanilla Sunfire v20z server. This project has gone through many frustrating phases...
Originally I tried a Si3124 board with the box running a 5-1 Sil Sata multiplexer. The controller didn't understand the multiplexer so I put in a second board and drove the drives directly. However, this didn't work well either and would lock up periodically. I added some published driver patches which made things better, but I would still get periodic kernel panics because of a recursive mutex call. So, I bought the Supermicro 8 channel Sata Marvell card. I tried the multiplexer again, but no luck, so I'm driving each separately again. Occasionally, I would have a system lockup and could only force the system to power down. I believe that this may have been due to a flaky Sata connection internal to the box. Now I'm left with the situation that I described.
