SubjectRe: sata_mv not working with a RocketRaid 2220
Noticed it yet its not the best driver around, but its weird it almost 
can initialize 1 device on the controller (sdb), and the rest totally fails.

Tried to put each disk in a JBOD, but that doesn't fix it neither.

Anyway thank you for the reply. Think i'll get some better controller :)
