Re: 4x SATA Ports via Marvell Controller etc

[Yupanqui Munoz <yupanqui@gmail.com>]

Hi  Emeric,

I tried to use debian(31rda)-i386, fedora core 4 (AMD64) and
ubuntu-5.05-AMD64, but none of them could recognize the HDs in the
installation.
I need the correct driver (Marvell (Adaptec) 4-port / 8-port SATA
Driver (Hercules-II)) to make it work.
Is there a specific driver in debian distribution that I can use in
the installation? Where I can find it? How to install it?

thanks

Yupanqui
