Although the driver detects the hds, the system is very unusable because of time out of access to the hds. - the marvell driver is gpl, compiling it in a recent kernel is a pain ..:-( However the combination of version 3.4 (patched) and 2.6.8 works ok. The version 3.6.1 compile in a 2.6.15 but it give me some errors on the device when I load the driver. - I have only tested on ia32 arch, but I think that it worsewhile to make some test in the amd64 arch. - I don't know what is the best way in this situation. We have two drivers for the same hardware: one of the main company, released in a free licence after some time time, and another a free driver, developed by the community that doesn't work in some some hardware. What do you recommend? Regards, Leo -- Linux User 152692 Catalonia
