Unknown device [11ab:6101] (rev b1)Mmm, that PCI ID that did bring me to http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0609.0/0272.html which says:
A month later we have a patch that when applied to linux-2.6.19-rc1-mm1 enables support for the PATA interface in SATA mode.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/16/157I have been using it and it works well enough for my needs post-install. It looks like drivers/ata/pata_marvell.c is in 2.6.20-rc7.
I leave the honour to Marvell Technology Group.
Does that mean that there is no longer any doubt that this device will only work with kernel 2.6.17 if the ide stuff is not a module?
I looked at the source for linux-2.6-2.6.18.dfsg.1. I will try it when it is released, but there seems to be no driver to claim the Marvell 6101.
