I didn't test the sslep(5) command since the patch worked; do you still need me to test it? One remaining issue is the "failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err mask=0xll)" message. If the PMP, bridges and drives are powered up before I insert the eSATA cable in to the controller, I don't receive the message. The message appears when only when I have the eSATA cable attached to the controller and then simultaneously power on the PMP and drives. In the attached dmesg log, the drive is eventually recognized; however there have been a couple of times when the drives aren't recognized. An eSATA cable remove/re-insert fixes the problem. -Brian
