Subject: Kernel or patch suggestions for DMA enables Marvell Driver
Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2005 12:34:58 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43A86AF2.2080508@physics.ucsd.edu> (raw)
Hi,
I have tried several development kernels to try to get the DMA version
of the Marvell SATA driver to work. The problem is that other problems
with the kernels have made them unsuitable for use. For example I used
the latest 2.6.14git kernel as well as the most recent patch for
2.6.15-rc6. Both of which had problems.
Could someone suggest a version of the kernel that might work, or
alternatively is it possible to extract the DMA supported driver itself
for compilation in another version? For example 2.6.14.4.
The official kernel driver is the closest I have gotten to getting this
controller supported on my system. The source code from Marvell and
other sources seems to not want to compile at all.
Here is the card I have from lspci
03:04.0 RAID bus controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. MV88SX6041
4-port SATA II PCI-X Controller (rev 03)
Thanks,
Terrence
