Hello all. I am having problems with my eSATA port on my laptop.
If I have the esata disk plugged in before I boot, I can use the drive with not problems. However, if I have the drive unplugged, then boot into Redhat, I cant get the OS to recognize the when I plug the esata drive in.
I am running Redhat RHEL 6.2 64 bit, and using the latest kernel that was in ElRepo (kernel-ml).
Here is the output from lspci:
