2.6.35.3 like 2.6.35.2 doesn't recognize my port multiplier (sil3726). It's on the same esata sheeva plug.  The console says:

ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl F300)
ata2.15: Port Multiplier 1.1, 0x1095:0x3726 r23, 6 ports, feat 0x1/0x9
ata2.00: hard resetting link
ata2.01: hard resetting link
ata2.02: hard resetting link
ata2.03: hard resetting link
ata2.04: hard resetting link
ata2.05: hard resetting link
ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec)
ata2.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
ata2.15: hard resetting link
ata2.15: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl F300)
ata2.00: hard resetting link
ata2.01: hard resetting link
ata2.02: hard resetting link
ata2.04: hard resetting link
ata2.05: hard resetting link
ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec)
ata2.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)

ad nauseum.

If you're capable, you might want to peruse the changelogs on kernel.org, starting with 2.6.35 to see what changes have been made to the sata subsystem.  Maybe you'll run across something that could be the culprit.

ok, i had a chance to look at some changes between 2.6.34.x and 2.6.35.x.  I reverted one commit and turned an option off in the config.

A new 2.6.35.3 testing kernel is in /sheeva/testing/ please test and report back...if it doesn't work i'd like you to "lsmod" so we can see which modules you've got loaded.

Quite a few changes have been made in the sata subsystem, although most of them are not too likely.

Does run fine on my stock Seagate Dockstar with debian :-)
The Kernel and Modules were installed via your README-Install-Script for this Kernel

I posted a message on lkml.  Marc Lord suggested to apply some patches (quite unrelated for my untrained eyes).  I still have to do that.  And there is a bugzilla entry as well: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17071

Sorry, I didn't find time before now to test your changes.  There is some progress, the failure message doesn't loop indefinitely now, but it still doesn't work :-(
