            I went searching for information on sata port multiplier
            and found:

            http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg377619.html

            Is this still the status of this and if so how do I set
            AHCI_HFLAG_NO_PMP to
            true?

        Well if you read the message you reference it states:

        "So add a module parameter to enable pmp usage, and default
        this to off, so
        that directly attached disks keep working normally."

        So it seems if you use a multiple you need to do a different
        option
        than without so it indicates it would need it. If you do "modinfo
        ahci_sunxi" you'll see that actually the patch has landed and
        there is
        a enable_pmp parameter. So you'll need to create something like
        /etc/modprobe.d/sunxi.conf and add a line "options ahci_sunxi
        enable_pmp=1" line (no I've not verified that is correct so you'll
        need to check it) and reboot.


    Ah, thanks!  I will try that.  I was looking at:
    /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf and adding to the append line
    something like:

    AHCI_HFLAG_NO_PMP=0


    So I would have been heading in the wrong direction...

Not entirely, it should also work having ahci_sunxi.enable_pmp=1 on kernel cmdline. Also, you may need to rebuild initramfs by running dracut -f after modifying modprobe.d files.

So either way I may need to rebuild initramfs? I have yet to get this right.

I boot with this option. It probably will not work; I will notice this. Then as root I issue 'dracut -f' then reboot?

            But it seems there were more messages about this...

                I figured out the various ports on the muitiport card
                and have 2 sata
                drives I am testing with.

                One drive works fine.  But two drives it is a bit of a
                guess which one
                will come in as /dev/sda (the mSD card is
                /dev/mmcblk0).  And only one drive
                is visible.  Or at least gparted is only seeing one.

                 From messages back last fall? I had that this board
                would let me use
                multiple sata drives, so there seems to be something I
                am missing.

                Right now each item has its own power supply:
                Cubietruck, Multiport card,
                Drive1, and Drive2.  So it is not a power issue (or
                shouldn't be).
