The following link (http://wiki.debian.org/pata_marvell) deals with the issue in debian lenny. I tried it and it works also with my squeeze kernel, 2.6.32-5-amd64. So, I do not know if bug report should be closed, if it it is a workaround, if it is really a solution. Big shot guys decide it. In any case, the default initrd shipped with debian and its updates are not ready to use for people using an external sata drive because of this issue with the marvell controller. Greatings.

Since upgrade from lenny to squeeze, the external hd did not work. As it has also an usb connection, I can use it through usb, but if it is conncected to the marvell sata instead of to usb, boot hangs. Motherboard is M2V. Current kernel version is 2.6.32-5-amd64.
