Can you please > post boot log w/o the patch using 2.6.30? Yes, actually when about to apply the patch, I realized the 6th port is actually recognized as the PMP SEMB. I guess the datasheet is somewhat incorrect on that precise page, since it mentions the SEMB device in other sections. The wiki is somewhat terse about PMP support (for example it's not very clear what drivers and controller combination support PMPs), and afaict there is no mention of SEMB support status (I don't think my PMPs have something connected to the I²C port of the SiI3726, but that may be helpful to other people). I moved all my disks to some spare PMP and all my disk detection problems are gone. I guess some of them are really damaged (also I had some power issue within my SATA enclosure).
