The AHCI quirk is Q_NOBSYRES (Marvell controllers do not wait for readyness, so driver has to poll?) Also thought I heard something about interrupt handling is a problem.something wants attention, but driver has to poll to find out what needs it? Evidently, I accepted that the Muskin SSD in a Linux box only connects at SATA-I speed off. With some suggestions to try an older Kernel as well as Windows I tested a fresh install as well as updated OpenSUSE 13.2 as well as a fresh install of Windows 7 (this one 32Bit, Linux is 64Bit) with the Marvell driver.
I'm trying to install Hardy 8.04.1 on a new system with an Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe motherboard, a Phenom 9850 cpu, and two WD 640 GB HD's which I want to be a RAID 1 array. There is an optical drive on the board's only PATA connector, from which I'm running the install CD. The board actually has two RAID controllers on it, a Marvell 6121 controller and an AMD SB600 controller. After a great deal of trial, error, and net searching, I've discovered that both controllers can't be enabled at once, hence the PATA optical drive for the installation. The problem: The Ubuntu installer won't recognize a RAID array on either controller.

But let's consider the Marvell 6121 first. With the 6121 enabled and SB600 disabled in BIOS, and the RAID 1 array defined in the Marvell RAID BIOS, the Ubuntu installation gets up to the point of detecting disks - and throws up its hands, saying 'No disk drive was detected' and offering to let me choose a driver from a list (or supply my own on a floppy). What to do here? Am I missing something? Is there a driver I can grab from somewhere? (I've searched, to no avail.) Everything looks right in the BIOS settings, and I'm pretty sure the disks themselves are fine. As a footnote: If I switch to the SB600 SATA controller and attempt to make a RAID 1 array, I go through the right steps in the BIOS, etc., and this time the Ubuntu installer recognizes the disks - as two separate disks which I'm given the choice to format individually, but no a RAID 1 array.
In my searching online I found a procedure for manually setting up software RAID during the installation, but the whole point of getting a motherboard with RAID controllers was to have. Hardware RAID! Is this board just cursed or something? I'd be hugely appreciative of any help or insight. I'm kind of at my wit's end here and not sure what else to try. The problem: The Ubuntu installer won't recognize a RAID array on either controller. But let's consider the Marvell 6121 first.

The SB600 will still work but only in IDE mode. I have found, and which has helped me to get linux to at least see the two disks attached to the 6121.
However, it is detecting them as two separate disks instead of a single RAID-1 disk.
