If it does succeed in booting, IO through these cards work fine. Configuration: Fedora core 4 with 2.6.16.1 and 2.6.17-rc3 (both produce the same results) Motherboard: Supermicro PDSME SATA Card: 8-port Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 bios 1.0b (based on Marvell Hercules-2 SATA Host Controller) 24 SATA drives plugged into 3 of these controllers The last few lines of console output are: INIT: version 2.85 booting Input: AT Translated set 2 Keyboard as /class/input/input0 Welcome to Fedora Core Press 'I' to enter interactive setup Starting udev [ OK ] Initalizing Hardware ..... Other notes: If all drives aree plugged directly into a SATA card, the system hangs indefinately as fedora is trying to initalize hardware. Plugging 4 of the drives directly into the motherboard makes the system is able to boot. The motherboard SATA controller use the ahci driver. The system hangs for several minutes on "Initalizing Hardware ..." In this case, lsmod shows the sata_mv driver loaded however only 4 drives show up in /dev. Reloading the sata_mv module seems to have no effect. Since the server boots in this case I'm able to get the dmesg output.
