I just went through an install on a DG965WH, which uses the same Marvell chip. It was a royal PITA as the CD and disk were both PATA.

The pata_marvell module was added after the 2.6.19 release. You can have my kernel if you like: http://www.robsims.com/linux-image-2.6.19-phb2_2.6.19-phb2-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb I compiled it with the new ata support, so all disks show up via the SCSI layer. -- Rob
