Hi, I'm using a Marvell 6121 SATA controller on a custom board and this is what I get at Linux (2.6.26) startup: ahci 0000:06:00.0: controller can't do NCQ, turning off CAP_NCQ ahci 0000:06:00.0: MV_AHCI HACK: port_map 7 -> 3 ahci 0000:06:00.0: AHCI 0001.0000 32 slots 3 ports 3 Gbps 0x3 impl IDE mode ahci 0000:06:00.0: flags: 64bit stag led pmp slum part scsi0 : ahci scsi1 : ahci scsi2 : ahci ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1024@0xbf7ffc00 port 0xbf7ffd00 irq 67 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1024@0xbf7ffc00 port 0xbf7ffd80 irq 67 ata3: DUMMY ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 101 SControl 300) ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) The ata1 status says the "Interface is active state" and "Device present detected but Phy communication is not etablished". What does it mean ? The SATA controller is connected to a CFAST card. I don't know why the link is not up. Do you have any idea ?
