Hello All,
For 5.4, FreeBSD AMD64 (and i386) is not able to recognize my diamond-max 160G
SATA drives on a Supermicro 6024H-T / X6DHT-G board with the default Marvell H2
SATA ctrl'r. There are SATA drivers for RH, FC3 and Windows from Supermicro:
ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/Diskimag/Adaptec/Marvell/H2/
Is there any way to get FreeBSD to run on this machine? It runs on windows so
it does not appear to be hardware or BIOS config.
It's a dual XEON (Nocona) 3.2G board with the Intel E7520 chipset.
Thank you,
Sejo
Marvell does not release programming specs for their SATA chips, nor do
they sell them for use as stand-along SATA controllers. The drivers
that are on the Supermicro site are for Adaptec's software RAID solution
that uses the Marvell chips. These drivers are binary only,
unfortunately. It's a shame, because the Marvell chips are actually
pretty good. My challenge for someone to reverse engineer them is still
open.
