I wanted to update this just in case someone comes along wanting a |
27 |
answer for this question. I have the card installed and this is what |
28 |
lspci -k shows for the card. |

05:00.0 SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9235 PCIe 2.0 |
32 |
x2 4-port SATA 6 Gb/s Controller (rev 11) |
33 |
Subsystem: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9235 PCIe 2.0 x2 |
34 |
4-port SATA 6 Gb/s Controller |
35 |
Kernel driver in use: ahci |
36 |
|
37 |
Someone mentioned they thought it used the ahci driver. It seems that |
38 |
is correct. I have not used the card yet. If one installs this card, |
39 |
enabling that driver should get it to work. |
