Not as-is. Here (attached) is a patch for 2.6.16.17+ that updates
the sata_mv driver to the latest source. Completely untested,
but it does compile.

I will hopefully test it later today, but in the meanwhile, have a go at it.

And here is attached my dmesg output. The last bit of mv_host_intr was when i
tried to access the partition table of the disk with parted.

I don't see anything particularly bad in that dmesg output,
apart from all of the debug output --> did you enable that,
or was it "on" by default?

It finds one SATA drive, with no *known* partition table format.

Can you access the disk? Eg. hexdump -C /dev/sda

Meanwhile, I just booted 2.6.17-rc5-git1 (latest kernel.org) on my Mac G3
box here, and sata_mv seems to be behaving for me (thus far).

Cheers
