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
