Yup, I can confirm this. The Marvell chip appears to control 4 SATA
+ 1 IDE connector.
Just to make things even weirder, there's also an Intel ICH7R chip on
the motherboard which controls a separate set of 4 SATA + 1 IDE
connector.
At first I thought that only the Marvell SATA ports could be used for
a RAID (based on how they're labeled in the manual), but now I see
that either set of SATA ports can be used for RAID. So I may be able
to set my RAID up using the ICH7R based ports until the Marvell chip
is supported. Am I correct to believe that the Intel ICH7R chip is
supported in 2.6.16?
