[Bug 55234] sata_mv doesn't work with my chipset

[Andres Salomon]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-26-686

With my SATA Marvell chipset, the sata_mv driver that's in dapper does
not work for me.  When I say "doesn't work"; i mean i/o hangs and times
out when attemping to access/modify data on a drive attached to the
controller.  Edgy's 2.6.17 kernel allows it to work.  The PCI ID for the
chipset is:

11ab:6041 (rev 03)

It's an MV88SX6041 4-port SATA II PCI-X controller.  I found the git
commit that fixes the problem for me, as well:

http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=ddef9bb367b19383df627e388cb4c01c86ddba6c

By rebuilding the sata_mv.ko module from dapper's kernel (2.6.15-26.45)
with the above fix applied, I can access and modify data on disks
attached to the Marvell controller.  Please consider inclusion of the
above fix in the next dapper kernel release.
