I went searching for information on sata port multiplier and found:Well if you read the message you reference it states:

Is this still the status of this and if so how do I set AHCI_HFLAG_NO_PMP to
true?
"So add a module parameter to enable pmp usage, and default this to off, so
that directly attached disks keep working normally."
So it seems if you use a multiple you need to do a different option
than without so it indicates it would need it. If you do "modinfo
ahci_sunxi" you'll see that actually the patch has landed and there is
a enable_pmp parameter. So you'll need to create something like
/etc/modprobe.d/sunxi.conf and add a line "options ahci_sunxi
enable_pmp=1" line (no I've not verified that is correct so you'll
need to check it) and reboot.
Ah, thanks! I will try that. I was looking at: /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf and adding to the append line something like:
AHCI_HFLAG_NO_PMP=0
So I would have been heading in the wrong direction...
Not entirely, it should also work having ahci_sunxi.enable_pmp=1 on kernel cmdline.
Also, you may need to rebuild initramfs by running dracut -f after modifying modprobe.d files.
So either way I may need to rebuild initramfs? I have yet to get this right.
I boot with this option. It probably will not work; I will notice this. Then as root I issue 'dracut -f' then reboot?
No, if you modify kernel command line, you don't need to rebuild initramfs, since module parameters are read from kernel cmdline.
But if you modify some of files in modprobe.d and impacted module is loaded in initramfs environment, you need to rebuild initramfs to include those modifications made in modprobe.d

But it seems there were more messages about this...

I figured out the various ports on the muitiport card and have 2 sata
drives I am testing with.
One drive works fine. But two drives it is a bit of a guess which one
will come in as /dev/sda (the mSD card is /dev/mmcblk0). And only one drive
is visible. Or at least gparted is only seeing one.
From messages back last fall? I had that this board would let me use
multiple sata drives, so there seems to be something I am missing.
Right now each item has its own power supply: Cubietruck, Multiport card,
Drive1, and Drive2. So it is not a power issue (or shouldn't be).
