Problem with Marvell 6121

Hi,

I'm using a Marvell 6121 SATA controller on a custom board and this is
what I get at Linux (2.6.26) startup:

ahci 0000:06:00.0: controller can't do NCQ, turning off CAP_NCQ
ahci 0000:06:00.0: MV_AHCI HACK: port_map 7 -> 3
ahci 0000:06:00.0: AHCI 0001.0000 32 slots 3 ports 3 Gbps 0x3 impl IDE mode
ahci 0000:06:00.0: flags: 64bit stag led pmp slum part
scsi0 : ahci
scsi1 : ahci
scsi2 : ahci
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1024@0xbf7ffc00 port 0xbf7ffd00 irq 67
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1024@0xbf7ffc00 port 0xbf7ffd80 irq 67
ata3: DUMMY
ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 101 SControl 300)
ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)

The ata1 status says the "Interface is active state" and "Device
present detected but Phy communication is not etablished". What does
it mean ?

The SATA controller is connected to a CFAST card.

I don't know why the link is not up. Do you have any idea ?

BR,
Franck.
