I think you might have me (Phil T) confused with the original poster, Phil
Reynolds [1].

I have working SATA hotplug on my 88SE6145 w/ the ahci driver and
marvell_enable=1.  The OP, Phil R., has an 88SE6121 that has been running
with the Marvell driver, without hotplug.  Neither of us cares about the
PATA ports.  Phil R. wants hotplug, but has not successfully enabled
marvell support in the ahci driver.

I've suggested Phil R. post his dmesg, lspci, and config, so we can figure out
what's going on.

Did I miss something else?

Phil
