I even asked repeatedly for the option ROM Marvell BIOS to be updated, but unless theres a beta UEFI sneaking around somewhere, it never got updated
I'm having this same eSATA problem with the board too and I have a question which might point to the answer:

If the eSATA port at the back of the board is driven off the Marvell controller then why does the BIOS have options to enable/disable External SATA Port for each of the ports on the *Intel* chipset ports (under Advanced/Storage) and why are there no options to select which Marvell port should be used for eSATA instead? Is it possible someone at AsRock has switched up the chips for eSATA support when they developed the BIOS or am I missing the point of those options for the 6 Intel ports?
