Among other things, I was trying to use a different SATA driver on my hardware and see if it makes any difference. So, I checked out the "libata-dev" tree from git ("upstream" head) and tried to run it. My hardware is SMP Supermicro with 6 disks on Marvell MV88SX6081 8-port SATA II PCI-X Controller (rev 03) and the sata_mv.c is version 0.25 dated 22 Oct 2005 The thing works with "old" mvsata340 driver, but the "new" kernel with your driver freezes when it starts to probe disks. Even Magic SysRq does not work. The last lines I see on screen are like this: sata_mv version 0.25 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:03.0[A] -> GSI 56 (level, low) -> IRQ 185 sata_mv(0000:02:03.0) 32 slots 8 ports unknown mode IRQ via MSI ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x0 ctl 0xF8C22120 bmdma 0x0 irq 185 ata2: .... 0xF8C24120 ... ... ata8: .... 0xF8C38120 ... ATA: abnormal status 0x80 on port 0xF8C2211C ... ata1: dev 0 ATA-7, max UDMA/133, 781422768 sectors: LBA48 - and at this point it freezes hard. Any suggestions for me? Any information I can collect to help troubleshooting? Thanks.
