Hi guys. I'm having an issue with detecting my sata drives on my PCI-X SuperMicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 SATA card. I just switched back from OpenSolaris, so I know the card functions properly. It's getting detected no problem when I boot off a drive on a different controller:
8.1-RELEASE output with the mkv_load enabled. mvs0: <Marvell 88SX6081 SATA controller> port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem 0xfdd00000-0xfdd fffff,0xfd800000-0xfdbfffff irq 10 at device 4.0 on pci2 mvs0: Gen-II, 8 3Gbps ports, Port Multiplier supported mvs0: [ITHREAD] mvsch0: <Marvell SATA channel> at channel 0 on mvs0 mvsch0: [ITHREAD] mvsch1: <Marvell SATA channel> at channel 1 on mvs0 mvsch1: [ITHREAD] mvsch2: <Marvell SATA channel> at channel 2 on mvs0 mvsch2: [ITHREAD] mvsch3: <Marvell SATA channel> at channel 3 on mvs0 mvsch3: [ITHREAD] mvsch4: <Marvell SATA channel> at channel 4 on mvs0 mvsch4: [ITHREAD] mvsch5: <Marvell SATA channel> at channel 5 on mvs0 mvsch5: [ITHREAD] mvsch6: <Marvell SATA channel> at channel 6 on mvs0 mvsch6: [ITHREAD] mvsch7: <Marvell SATA channel> at channel 7 on mvs0 mvsch7: [ITHREAD] If I try booting off the drive on one of these channels, the system gets up to and including the kernel output screen, but immediately brings me to the MOUNTROOT> prompt. Clearly it can't find the drive after that point. The installers are the same way.. 8.2-RELEASE, 7.3-RELEASE and 7.4-RC1. It'll show the channels in the dmesg, but drives won't get detected. I've tried the following (individually, with and without both) on a working setup and then connecting the drive to one of these Marvell channels: mvs_load="YES" atamarvell_load="YES" I've also recompiled the kernel in 8.2-RELEASE and 8.2-STABLE without hptrr. There was as patch previously that included a way to disable the hptrr binary blob that causes the controller to not function at all (hw.hptrr.attach_generic): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/136750 .. So people have reported this controller working, which I find so strange. Any help would be appreaciated. I'm at my wits end. Thanks!
