I have read that the AHCI module allows hotplug but when I add a hot new SATA disk, the system don't detects it .
Any idea of what the problem is?
Even though it's hotplug, you have to give Linux a command so that it will scan the bus and add the disks to its internal tables.
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.
