Hello
My port multiplier capable eSATA Express Card refuses to talk to my
external HDD box (2 HDDs, JBOD mode).
Inserting the card into the Express Card slot looks normal:

Turning on the external box results in lots of errors:

Which kernel version is this? Can you test latest git?
Kernel 2.6.32-rc6 behaves exactly the same.
The driver seems to give up rather quickly. Maybe the external box needs
more time?
