Subject: sata_mv important note
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 10:05:57 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43CD07D5.30302@pobox.com> (raw)
For sata_mv users, you should be aware of three things:
1) The Marvell driver is experimental, and not yet considered ready for
production use. As Kconfig notes: HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL.
2) There are PCI Message Signalled Interrupt (MSI) problems that are not
yet diagnosed. Workaround is to disable MSI.
3) There are still some errata that are not yet implemented. Thus, for
some systems, you may see either lockups or data corruption. That's the
price of running a HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL driver.
Rest assured that all problem reports are read, even if you don't
receive a reply. After enough feedback is received, the exact problem
becomes more clear.
Jeff
