Request kernel 2.6.18 ..
Report: 2.6.18 has solved a lot of issues with
my 965 chipset Duo Core intel MB and has been
extremely stable ...
Now, any idea on a timeline for driver for the Marvell IDE controller ?
Thanks ...

No.
Ask Marvell... I have, to no avail.

Marvell PATA (was Re: Request kernel 2.6.18 ..)
Update: I have now have docs. Missed a few bits of info, but most of it is there. Kudos to Marvell...

Possibly never. Marvell don't currently seem to want to play. Now that might be for several reasons, one of which is that its someone elses chip rebadged. In that case someone has a chance of working out what it copies (eg which bits change when you boot with or without a master or slave on each channel is a good clue)
The current prognosis however is that you and/or other marvell users are going to have to reverse-engineer the thing or just avoid boards using that chip.

I have such a board, and all-generic-ide appears to work (at least enough to load the installer from CD, all the rest is SATA). Perhaps it can be quirked so the parameter won't be necessary?
