Hi,
I have an up-to-date F16 x86_64 box with 2 eSATA ports on the back powered by a JMicron JMB362 chip. When I attach an external SATA drive to the eSATA port and power up the drive it is recognized fine. But when I power down that drive, wait 2 minutes, and power it up again the drive is no longer recognized. Also there are no messages related to the 2nd power up in /var/log/messages. All SATA controllers are set to AHCI in the BIOS. No idea where to go from here. Anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this?
Will you settle for something easy to give a data point? When powered down, unplug the eSATA box and replug. If /var/log/messages tells you anything, share it with us, if it suddenly works again, that's a data point.
In the mean time, I have a similar issue, and will try powering up the system with the RAID already up and see if it solves one of _my_ problems, the eSATA box works with some boxen and not other, so I will try all states of power on, off, cable connected, and see what it yields. I thought the cheap ATOM system just had an unsupported chip for the connect.
