Help please - Marvell 9128 Disk Controller not being detected.
Hi,
I have a Gigabyte GA-X58A UD7 Rev. 2 motherboard which has a Marvell 9128 SATA 3 disk controller on it.
I have RAID setup on this controller and use it for XP and Win 7 x64. Windows 10 doesn't detect the controller during installation. If I try and install the Marvell drivers post-installation of the OS, the RAID is still not being seen.
I've tried using F6 to install the drivers during installation of Windows 10, but the system displays an error message and a 'Restart required' message as the driver is being installed. I think the error code is something like 'Unhandled_Thread.' Another symptom of whatever this is, is that it takes about six minutes for the initial OS installation screen to appear after booting the DVD of the OS image and then about another four minutes until the 'Install' screen appears. It's as if Windows is waiting for the hardware to respond or something.
Gigabyte doesn't seem to have Win 10 drivers (yet) for this motherboard. They may never have as its a relatively old board. I have posted this in the Gigabyte forums, but no answer yet. Has anyone over here with an older Gigabyte motherboard experienced this possible incompatibility? Or perhaps have a solution.
I could could use the boards Intel controller for the RAID, but I don't want to move it yet in case the problem is me missing something.
Sorry this this is long-winded. Thank you in advance.
