Hmmmm... This is weird.  I have two reports on addonics reporting the
same problem now.

In boot log 1 and 3, the first fan-out port (ata1.00) is down while on 2
and 4, the link is up.  Was there any hardware configuration change?
4726 is known to malfunction if the first port isn't occupied.

Thanks.
