Comment 3 Will Woods 2007-01-12 17:53:06 UTC 
Is there anything attached to ata3/ata4? Are they enabled in the BIOS?

I have a machine here (Dell PowerEdge SC430) that does the same thing with ata2,
which is a SATA port with nothing attached to it. It's disabled in BIOS (as are
ata3 and ata4) but ata_piix still detects it. Strange.
Comment 4 Will Woods 2007-01-12 17:57:46 UTC 
Oh, my controller's an ICH7-family 82801GB/GR/GH, rev 01 (8086:27c0)
Comment 5 Jonathan Underwood 2007-01-12 18:04:20 UTC 
Nothing is attached to ata3 and ata4 as far as I can tell.

I just checked in the bios settings:

SATA-2 not available in this chasis
SATA-3 not available in this chasis
SATA-4 Off
SATA-5 Off

Very mysterious.
Comment 6 Will Woods 2007-01-12 18:40:12 UTC 
This is fixed for me with kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6, which is currently in
updates-testing. Can you enable the updates-testing repo and try that kernel?

(yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kernel should do it)
Comment 7 Jonathan Underwood 2007-01-13 11:52:25 UTC 
kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 does indeed fix the problem for me. I wonder if these
bugs are dupes:

220138
212737

I didn't mark them as dupes, as I wasn't 100 percent sure they are the same thing. 

I'll mark this bug as closed. Thanks for the help.
