88SE61xx chipsets Linux support

Linux IDE (PATA) driver

Actually in the Kernel 2.6.28-rc5 (15 November 2008), driver version 0.1.6 (it was the same in driver version 0.1.4 with kernel 2.6.25-rc8 the 8 April 2008), the module pata_marvell support only these chipsets:

The file pata_marvell.c in kernel sources add IDE support for the Marvell IDE chipsets. You can browse this file here by Web Git: [linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git] / drivers / ata / pata_marvell.c source: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/ata/pata_marvell.c;h=76e399bf8c1bc2adfe9587f1ffd17cae192486f2;hb=9bf1a2445f3c569098b8de7097ca324e65abecc2

Code for chipset supported list (line 159 to 165): 

static const struct pci_device_id marvell_pci_tbl[] = {
         { PCI_DEVICE(0x11AB, 0x6101), },
         { PCI_DEVICE(0x11AB, 0x6121), },
         { PCI_DEVICE(0x11AB, 0x6123), },
         { PCI_DEVICE(0x11AB, 0x6145), },
         { }     /* terminate list */
};

A bug ticket is open at Kernel Bug Tracker: Problem with pata_marvell kernel module: kernel 2.6.24.4 in Mandriva 2008.1 RC2 don't detect my IDE harddisk connected to a Marvell 88SE6111 IDE Controller

Workaround for linux and Marvell's chips that are not in the pata_marvell driver: [4] [5]

This workaround work only with chipset that have AHCI support. But ICH9, ICH8, ICH7 and ICH6-based chipsets, as well as ICH5 and ICH5R-based chipsets, do not use AHCI.[6]

Linux IDE (PATA) driver problem workaround for Marvell 88SE6111, 88SE6121, 88SE6145

Alan Cox said [7][8] that there is regressions in PATA Marvell Linux driver since March 2008 for the 6121 Marvell, and late 2007 for the 6145. The regressions are in kernel 2.6.27 and maybe 2.6.25 and 2.6.26. Kernel 2.6.24.4 works.

He said too:

"The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired."

Alan Cox said: "You need to load pata_marvell before AHCI on current kernels (this is fixed in 2.6.28rc) for PATA support" [9]

By default ahci.marvell_enable=1 that is disabling your PATA port in the PATA Marvell driver. Use the boot option 'ahci.marvell_enable=0' to avoid this.

Use the boot parameter: ahci.marvell_enable=0 if you have PATA/IDE devices connected at you Marvell chip
or this:
added this line in the file /etc/modprobe.d/options: 

options ahci marvell_enable=0

and run update-initramfs -u or dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
shutdown
enable Marvell
and see if it works for you

Use the boot parameter: ahci.marvell_enable=1 if you have SATA devices connected to your Marvell chip[10]
or this:
added this line in the file /etc/modprobe.d/options:

options ahci marvell_enable=1

and run update-initramfs -u or dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
shutdown
enable Marvell
and see if it works for you

Linux SATA driver

On the Asus website, you can find Marvell SATA code source and documentation that explains how to build and install the linux driver for Marvell SATA controller. This code source is for 'Marvell Storage Controller 6121/6122/6141/6145'. The code source version is v1.0.0.9 for Marvell SATA Controller and was developed by a Marvell's developer.

Linux PCI ID Repository

The Linux PCI ID Repository is a public repository of all known ID's used in PCI devices, that is ID's of vendors, devices, subsystems and device classes. These ID lists (usually in form of a pci.ids file) are used in various programs (The Linux Kernel, The PCI Utilities, new version of the XFree86 etc.) to display full device names instead of the numeric ID's. The PCI ID for Marvell 88SE61xx chipset are available here The April 8, 2008, there is only PCI ID for Marvell 88SE6101, 88SE6121, 88SE6141 and 88SE6145 chips. PCI ID for Marvell 88SE6102 and 88SE6111 are added April 9, 2008. After the April 9, 2008 and when the PCI ID list will be up to date in the Linux distributions, the Marvell 88SE6102 and 88SE6111 chips will be recognize by Linux but will not work because actually there is no drivers for them.

As of the present date [11 January 2012], the Linux kernel supports at least the 88SE6102 chips.[11]

88SE92xx SATA controllers chipsets

The Marvell 88SE92xx devices are SATA controllers with a PCE-e interface.[30] The family includes 4 devices, the 88SE9220/9230/9235/9215, they have four SATA-III compatible ports. The 88SE9220/9230 devices include the Marvell RAID support. The 88SE9220/9230/9235 devices have a 2x PCI Express 2.0 interface (that can work in 1x mode, but the boards may not be physically compatibile). The 88SE9215 device only has a 1x PCI Express 2.0 interface.

88SE92xx chipsets FreeBSD support

While these devices claim to have AHCI support, they have quirks that need to be handled. This is included in FreeBSD 10.x and 9.x stable releases.[31]

88SE91xx chipsets Linux support

Linux SATA driver

Appears[33] to be supported by the standard AHCI driver, however out of the box is not recognised by the AHCI driver - AHCI driver needs to be taught to be loaded for the relevant PCI vendor and product ID.

Check lspci -nnk for the PCI vendor and product ID. i.e. in the following instance the relevant part is "1b4b:9192"

04:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device [1b4b:9192] (re11)

To associate these IDs with the AHCI driver run

/bin/echo 1b4b 9192 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ahci/new_id
