Does anybody know when this driver might become available? I'm currently trying to operate a Marvell 88SX6041 with a binary only module and read operations from multiple disks are giving me grief :( I've noticed that sata support will be going into 2.4.27 and the patch looks very clean. Will backporting sata support to an older 2.4.20-pre2 kernel (http://source.mvista.com:14690//linuxppc_2_4_galileo) be as hassle free?
