Thanks a lot for the quick answers. Sorry to have misread tejun's readme, I tought there was some abstraction layer between SATA protocol and SATAII extensions, so I didn't even suppose there could be a need for controller specific code to support port multiplier. I was clearly wrong.
Yeap, there is a layer, but it still needs low level support.
So to be clear, there is not yet any support for my configuration (sata_promise+SiI3726) in any of your code branches ? If not which one should I start from to try to add the support myself (I never programmed anything in the kernel, so it would just be a newbie try) ?
No, not yet. You can try but the biggest obstacle would be lack of document. If you can access the doc, it shouldn't be too difficult, I guess. You can analyze how sata_sil24 has been changed and update sata_promise similarly.
