Hi Tejun,
Thanks for your clarification and advice.
I downloaded the 2.6.17.4, applied the combined.patch and recompiled
It seems to detect the port multiplier now... but...
now both drives are gone.
it seems like it times out and the dvdr drive "seek"
I should have mentioned that they have sata to pata bridgeboards
on the drives.
I tried rebooting, with discs in and not in the drives.
I can send you a physical bridgeboard, or drive if it helps you...
the samsung hard drive is on the motherboard sata controller.
the dvd drives are on pmp on the sata_sil24 board
Thanks
Trent George
