Hi folks,
I recently built a system using the HighPoint 2720 SAS controller, which
is based on the Marvell 88SE9485. In my limited testing (read: it boots),
the following patch is needed to get mvsas to recognize the board. With
this patch, the system boots without issue and SATA passthrough seems to
work. Note that I have not tested the board with any SAS drives, as I
only have SATA drives at present. Any thoughts/comments on if anything
further is needed for this board?

No luck with this. Under testing it eventually starts reporting bad
sectors on writes. Does anyone have any pointers for docs on the mvsas
chips that I could use for debugging this? For that matter, am I using
the right description for the 88SE9485?

Highpoint arent very good at the moment with linux support which is a
disappointment...good luck.

Such is life, but a motivated developer can help fix that. I now have a
few of these cards and would like to make the effort to improve their
support. Surely someone has contacts at Marvell that could be helpful in
getting documentation on the variables the card manufacturers can tweak.
