Dear all,
I am trying to connect an external 2-disk case (eCube II see
http://www.one-tech.com/EN/htm_ecube.htm) to an ICH10 skyburg dp45sg
board via eSATA. As the case requires a port-multiplying sata card, I am
wondering if ich10+ahci support it?
At least with 2.6.27.10 I am seeing only one drive. Connecting the case
via usb gives two (dmesg parts below).
So is port multiplying not yet available for ahci or not at all or does
the the ich10 not support it and I should rather try a sil 3132 or so?
Thanks,
Soeren

Look at the portion of your dmesg where AHCI is loaded:
You'll see some lines like this:
[3675853.416077] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: flags: 64bit ncq sntf stag pm led clo pmp pio slum part ems
[3675855.666834] ahci 0000:04:00.0: flags: 64bit stag led slum part
Relevant lspci bits:
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI Controller
04:00.0 IDE interface: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE6121 SATA II Controller (rev b1)
Notice the 'pmp' flag on the first one. From what I understand, the AHCI
BIOS portions can choose to enable or disable things like PMP support,
and that's why it's reflected in the inquiry data.
Another box:
[ 4.396835] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: flags: 64bit ncq pm led clo pio slum part
And the lspci:
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801GR/GH (ICH7 Family) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 01)

ahci on ich10 can do port multiplier. I can't tell from the web page
but if it's one of simg5723 and its friends, you'll need to put it
into JBOD mode using the dip switch or whatever.
