Hello, Finally resolved the issue's with the Marvell's: It was indeed a GPIO - GPIO 5(SHUTDOWN#) from SB600 to be exact. Turning on that GPIO brought up both LAN chips. Going to continue now, with more deeper tests, and try to help you with the DDR/ACPI testing as good as I can. My board has two SODIMM slots. By the way, the board will be available for sale , most likely - but I can't provide details yet - as it is was intended for other use originally. I will keep you posted on this. Greetings, Daniel
