Re: Installing Debian on sata drive with adaptec aic-8130 controller



I prefer 3ware for all my PCI controllers, with or without RAID, they have great support in Linux.

marvell has been very hard to get any specs out of for anything, making
writing a driver rather difficult.  Some posts seem to indicate the
marvell chips also function very differently than anything else on the
market making it much harder to fit into the standard framework.

Thanks for the info. I will write my hardware-vender, that when I say, I
want Linux compatible hardware, that I really mean it. I will replace
the controller. Any sugesstions for a SATA PCI controller with 4 ports?
