Good stuff deleted...

Doing a google search on ``ahci linux'' had this at the top of
the list.  Is this the best place to look for hardware
compatibility?

According to this there are no Adaptec SATA devices with ahci
capabilities.  I am interested because we have a box with a
Supermicro X5DPL-TGM main board with on-board Adaptec AIC-8120
that I would like to be able to hot-swap.
