Sil 3132 SATA II express card

Sil 3132 SATA II express card

[Thanasis]

I have compiled in kernel (2.6.27) support for Sil 3132:
CONFIG_SATA_SIL24=y

When I insert the card in the laptop's slot, dmesg shows nothing new.
Is this normal?

You should get some messages at the very least. Do you have the proper 
hotplug support compiled into your kernel? Do any ExpressCards work?

Last time I tried that I had to modprobe the pcie hotplug module
(pciehp?) before inserting the card and even then it only worked some
times.

If you boot with the card plugged in that should work - I haven't
tried lately but pciehp was flaky on my hardware (MacBook  Pro).

That is exactly what happens to my hw too. :-\
