I forwarded the patch for #upstream-fixes as the patch is in the right direction whether it fully fixes your problem or not. Please lemme know the test result. Gaston, for the initial detection failure messages when connected to ICH AHCI, I don't really have much idea what's going on or how to fix it. I suspect it's related to initial FISes from drives arriving asynchronously after hard resets but can't tell much without bus analyzer. Anyways, as EH can handle the case quickly enough, I guess we can leave it at that for now. If you have ideas on what's going on or how to fix it, please lemme know. Thanks. -- tejun
