Do ICH10+AHCI-driver support port-multiplying on a eSATA port?

[Soeren Sonnenburg]

Dear all,

I am trying to connect an external 2-disk case (eCube II  see
http://www.one-tech.com/EN/htm_ecube.htm) to an ICH10 skyburg dp45sg
board via eSATA. As the case requires a port-multiplying sata card, I am
wondering if ich10+ahci support it?

At least with 2.6.27.10 I am seeing only one drive. Connecting the case
via usb gives two (dmesg parts below).

So is port multiplying not yet available for ahci or not at all or does
the the ich10 not support it and I should rather try a sil 3132 or so?

Thanks,
Soeren
