Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-11-server
The available Ubuntu kernels are unusable on servers containing the Marvell 6081 SATA chipset (e.g. Sun x4500's.) A fix was merged in stable branch 2.6.28.4: commit fc304eb4ccc0227d3230ce7a11b31f2d2bd43792 Author: Mark Lord <[email protected]> Date: Mon Jan 19 18:04:37 2009 -0500 sata_mv: fix 8-port timeouts on 508x/6081 chips commit b0bccb18bc523d1d5060d25958f12438062829a9 upstream. Fix a longstanding bug for the 8-port Marvell Sata controllers (508x/6081), where accesses to the upper 4 ports would cause lost-interrupts / timeouts for the lower 4-ports. With this patch, the 6081 boards should finally be reliable enough for mainstream use with Linux.
