I'm trying to use a Marvell 88SX5081 based card here in my pegasos machine,
and i never got it working with the libata driver, even with the patches 
Zang
provided (and 2.6.16 though, maybe i should update to a newer version). The
marvell provided driver worked though at some time.

Would it be possible to have access to your work, in order to not duplicate
effort or something ? 

All of the relevant bits of "my work" are now in Jeff's upstream libata 
tree,
from the recently posted sata_mv patches.

Ok. can i use this tree with a 2.6.16 base ?
 

After struggling with bad SDRAM earlier this week, I now have Ubuntu 
installed
and running reliably on my G3 box here.  Next step is to upgrade the kernel
to something modern, and add in the latest sata_mv.

Ok.
 

After that, I'll try my own 6081 Marvell card in it, and hopefully see the 
same failures as you.. hopefully!

I tried getting a 6081 based low profile card, but they don't seem to sell in
europe.
