[snip /] I have a similar chipset in my office server: 88SE6145. If yours can run in AHCI mode, you just need "ahci.marvell_enable=1" on your kernel command line, or "options ahci marvell_enable=1" in your modprobe.conf. (I have ahci built-in, and no initramfs, so I put the option in my grub.conf.) My Marvell chipset has both SATA and PATA ports... the PATA ports are non-functional when the ahci driver runs the chipset. Your mileage may vary.
