It seems that SATA hot-plug-in is no longer supported in current -- both 7.2 and 8.0.

I have a GeForce6100PM-M2 motherboard with both PATA and SATA installed.
System boots from PATA derives for 6.4, 7.2 and 8.0-Beta4 with SATA offline.

After system is up, power SATA, 6.4 sees the dirve right way and disk is automatically attached to ata2-master.

When boot to both 7.2 and 8.0, hot plug-in SATA drive does not show any message to the system.
Issueing command "atacontrol attach ata2" or "atacontrol reinit ata2" does not get disk online. Without chnage anything, and just reboot the system, the SATA drive will show up.

So, this sounds like SATA hot plug-in feature is disabled by configuration. 

Is possible to reconfigure the kernel to enable SATA hot-plug-in feature?
