Yes. Oh, you meant a Marvell SATA controller? That's quite different from a SATA disk. Just use sata_mv. > I need a generic SATA driver to be used as replace of (eg: mv_sata) driver. There is no such thing. The only driver that comes close is the AHCI driver, but that needs AHCI compatible hardware. In your case: use sata_mv, it should work fine. If not, see below. > Please suggest. 1) Upgrade to the latest kernel (2.6.16.13 or 2.6.17-git9) 2) Try to recreate your problem 3) If it persists, read REPORTING-BUGS in your kernel tree and send in a bug report to the appropriate mailing list (linux-ide will do).
