NSA320 secondary SATA not working

[42loop]

Hi there,
got the arch linux installed on my primary hard drive, however the secondary one is not being activated at boot.
if i run to_stock, it spins up the drive and everything works as expected-
if i run to_linux, i get the following from the boot messages:

ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl F300)

and the drive doesn't even spin up...

what am i missing ?

any help appreciated

This is abnormal, to be honest. My NSA320 has no issues spinning up both drives once Linux boots. We will be providing an updated u-boot in the coming months that will also spin it up during u-boot.

Hello
in zyxelforum.de I have read about the sata hdd's are not supplied at the same time with power so that the nsa not so much starting current has.
perhaps it may be due?

No. I wrote the 3.12+ kernel patch, and once the kernel fires up, it applies power to the GPIO controlling the SATA power for HDD2, and thus spins up this hard drive. U-boot indeed, does not do this.
