This device appears to have more than one PCI ID. Support for 1b4b:917a was added in the upstream kernel 3.4, and is under review for 3.3 and 3.2 updates, but according to your Lspci.txt file you have 1b4b:9172
See http://theangryangel.co.uk/blog/marvell-88se9172-sata3-under-linux- as-of-320 for info on how to add support manually under kernel 3.2. Note that they have a third PCI ID - make sure you use yours. Here is the 3.4 kernel patch for reference: author Matt Johnson Fri, 27 Apr 2012 06:42:30 +0000 (01:42 -0500) committer Jeff Garzik Thu, 3 May 2012 18:07:40 +0000 (14:07 -0400) commit 642d89252201c4155fc3946bf9cdea409e5d263e tree f6287317640b23fe34233e4227cb07585f73e471 parent 6868225e3e92399068be9a5f1635752d91012ad5 ahci: Detect Marvell 88SE9172 SATA controller The Marvell 88SE9172 SATA controller (PCI ID 1b4b 917a) already worked once it was detected, but was missing an ahci_pci_tbl entry.
