Hi, ...
I am trying to use a Marvell 88SX5081 based card here in my pegasos machine,
and i never got it working with the libata driver, even with the patches Zang
provided (and 2.6.16 though, maybe i should update to a newer version). The
marvell provided driver worked though at some time.
Would it be possible to have access to your work, in order to not duplicate
effort or something ?
Friendly,
Sven Luther
