Have you got more info on the whole product like name/symbol? The MV6446x device you mention does not include a SATA block in it. It is a system controller (for PowerPC), which indeed has a number of peripherals integrated (DDR controler, PIC, PCI/PCIE, Ethernet, XOR etc.), but SATA is not one of them. There must be somewhere a separate SATA controller on your device besides this one. My speculation is that it probably sits behind the MV6446x PCI/PCIE bridge, and since there isn't a driver for this PCI/PCIE bridge in the first place, you don't see other peripheral(s)... Rafal
