I'm testing SATA with 2.6.0-test2 with a Intel P4 i875P chipset. The disk is
recognised correcly, but right after trying any kind of access (hdparm,
fdisk...) it starts to give the following errors:
...
ICH5-SATA: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:1f.2
ICH5-SATA: chipset revision 2
ICH5-SATA: 100% native mode on irq 18
ide2: BM-DMA at 0xef90-0xef97, BIOS settings: hde:DMA, hdf:pio
ide3: BM-DMA at 0xef98-0xef9f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
hde: ST380013AS, ATA DISK drive
...

hde: hde1
...
hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=70, high=0, low=70,

Buffer I/O error on device hde, logical block 0
Buffer I/O error on device hde, logical block 1
Buffer I/O error on device hde, logical block 2
...
I tried it with 2.4.21 and 2.4.22-pre9 with the same results.
Also changed the BIOS to put in "compatible mode" (as opposite to sata native)
and got the same errors.
In all cases, the disk is unusable (a seagate barracuda 80GB).
