I don't see anything particularly bad in that dmesg output, apart from all of the debug output --> did you enable that, or was it "on" by default? It finds one SATA drive, with no *known* partition table format. Can you access the disk? Eg. hexdump -C /dev/sda Meanwhile, I just booted 2.6.17-rc5-git1 (latest kernel.org) on my Mac G3 box here, and sata_mv seems to be behaving for me (thus far).
