Panic.
ata_piix: Unknown parameter 'noprobe'

Expected results:

System boots normally.

Comment 1 Garry T. Williams 2007-03-05 16:16:00 UTC 
After yum update a new version of the kernel (2.6.19-1.2288.2.1.fc5smp) was
available.

Reboot results in identical panic.
Comment 2 Garry T. Williams 2007-03-08 13:20:21 UTC 
Same panic with 2.6.19-1.2288.2.4.fc5smp
