Hi Yinghai,
  this brought me to and issue with "Intel® 6 Series Express Chipset B2 stepping" chips
having enabled SATA ports 2-5. This is my case:

[    3.037832] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: version 3.0

Is this bug anyhow related to this already known chipset issue?

So you found two issues, right?

Issue 1:

Does it make sense to report this to Dell (that it does not support ACPI hotplug)?
Can they fix it with BIOS or whatever? Thay will anyways replace my motherboard
in the laptop if my system is really affected.

Can I just return the thing after 2.5 months completely?

Thanks,
Martin
