I have an Asus mobo with both Marvell (6Gb/s) and Intel SATA connectors. And the disk drive has dual-boot windows/Ubuntu on it.
With my drive on the Intel connector everything works fine. But when on the Marvell connector, it isn't recognised. This is a general problem - even when booting Linux (I've tried 3 different versions) the drive simply doesn't appear. But a Windows boot works fine.
Once I put the dual-boot system up on the drive (using the Intel connection) I replugged it. On the Marvell connection Grub and Windows boot fine. But if the connection is set to IDE mode, doing a Ubuntu boot produces a totally garbled screen and there doesn't seem to be any way out of it short of holding down the power-off button. If the connection is set to ACHI mode, I get the Ubuntu login screen, but the desktop doesn't appear.
Anyone here got any idea what's going on and how I can get Linux to recognise the drive when plugged into the Marvell socket?
