Hi Jeff,
I am having a nasty problem with hot swapping a removable (not
eSATA) drive I use for backup on several servers. It is reported
over on
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3391
Trying to help me find a work around to the problem at

Alan posted your ata_piix.c code at
http://centos.toracat.org/ajb/tmp/toddandmargo/ata_piix.c
He pointed out
1483 /* no hotplugging support (FIXME) */
1484 if (!in_module_init)
1485 return -ENODEV;
What do you mean by the comment in line 1483? Is there some
know issue with hot swapping SATA drives?
If you're using the ata_piix driver then it means your motherboard is
not in AHCI mode, so hotplugging is not supported by either the driver
or controller. You have to enable AHCI for SATA hotplug to work on Intel
controllers.
