SATA RAID MV88SX6041 on Sarge 3.1r0a Problem



Hi list,

I tried to install Sarge 3.1r0a AMD64 on a Supermicro server with Marvell SATA RAID MV88SX6041 controller. Because Sarge Installer CD could not recognize the controller I used a temporary IDE disk to compile and got the driver (ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/drivers/linux/marvell/mvsata340.zip)

I followed the instruction in http://www.deesconsulting.com/howtos/marvell-sarge.txt Now I can install Sarge to my SATA disks (I still get warning message: "mv_sata : no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted" actually, but Sarge can recognize my disks now).

Installation process ran normal; When the installer finished and told me to reboot, I made initrd image first:
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8

But I got the following error:
   dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
   dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
   dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
   /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed
   FATAL: Module mvSata not found
   WARNING: This failure MAY indicate that your kernel will not boot!
but it can also be triggered by needed modules being compiled into the kernel
   dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table

I edited /etc/modprobe.d/aliases and added:
   alias scsi_hostadapter mv_sata
   alias mvSata mv_sata

and remade initrd, but I still got some warning messages:
   dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
   dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
   dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
   dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table

I finished installation and reboot.
And server still can't boot to my new Sarge:

Thanks for any help.
