from this page I got to the intel page listing ahci chipsets that
support hotswapping:
http://openbsd.lechtermann.net/cgi?action=article&sid=20070111131256
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imst/sb/CS-012304.htm
AHCI is built into chipsets with the following controller hubs:
Intel. ICH10R/DO SATA RAID/AHCI controller hub
Intel. ICH10D SATA AHCI controller hub
Intel. ICH9M-E SATA RAID/AHCI controller hub
Intel. ICH9M AHCI controller hub
Intel. 82801IR/IO Controller Hub (ICH9R/DO) - RAID and AHCI
Intel. 82801HEM I/O Controller Hub (ICH8M-E) - RAID and AHCI
Intel. 82801HBM I/O Controller Hub (ICH8M) - AHCI only
Intel. 82801HR/HH/HO I/O Controller Hub (ICH8R/DH/DO) - RAID and AHCI
Intel. 631xESB/632xESB I/O Controller Hub - RAID and AHCI
Intel. 82801GHM I/O Controller Hub (ICH7MDH) - RAID only
Intel. 82801GBM I/O Controller Hub (ICH7M) - AHCI only
Intel. 82801GR/GH I/O Controller Hub (ICH7R/DH) - RAID and AHCI
Intel. 82801FR I/O Controller Hub (ICH6R) - RAID and AHCI
Intel. 82801FBM I/O Controller Hub (ICH6M) - AHCI only
From what I understand, your chipset (Intel 6321ESD AHCI) is not
explicitly listed, though there's a similar model and maybe this
webpage hasn't been updated properly.
Check this if it helps:

Maybe you should look into getting a sata card that can hotswap or
change motherboard?

Not that I would be able to help with this, just note that these two
lines are very different from the dmesg you posted previously. My
guess
is you should prepare yourself for retyping the full dmesg.
yesterday, I typed from a blurry handset photo. Anyway, I re-did the
experiment and managed to write down the exact error message. As far
as
I can see, booting proceeds as normal to this point:
pciide0: channel 1 ignored (disabled)
Then, AHCI is detected and immediately followed by a crash:
ahci0 at pci0 dev 31 function 2 "Intel 6321ESD AHCI" rev 0x09: irq
11, AHCI 1.1
fatal protection fault in supervisor mode
trap type 4 mode 18b rip ffffffff802ba2f8 cs8 rflags 10202 cr2 0
cpi e rsp ffffffff80b21b20
The operating system has halted.
...
While poking around in the BIOS, I also saw an option which suggested
that the machine can do something called "EFI OS booting" (or
similar).
Should I enable this?
Kind regards,
