Would just like to chime in with a "me too" on this. I've tried both 
ubuntu 9.10 kernel (2.6.31) and their 10.04 pre-alpha (guess it's 
2.6.32-rc8) and mvsas + AOC-SASLP-MV8 is pretty much unusable. If I start 
md creation it stalls immediately and gets nowhere, last time I tried it 
md claimed it had written 160 blocks then it stalled (all drive LEDs on 
the controller is constantly lit).

If I boot without drives and then hot-plug the drives, it immediately 
oops:es.

Any code/fixes I can try, this is a lab machine so I can easily do 
whatever needed with it...
