Asked AMD to send a SB700 reference board for the SB700 back ports.

Is this a bug or new hardware enablement?

I have this same issue with my Thinkpad T61.  The device should be supported by
the ahci driver, but it is not found at boot.  This applies to the install
process and to booting after installation is complete.  The problem is still
present in kernel-2.6.22.1-41.fc7.

Lenovo (by Intel) / 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA AHCI Controller [SATA
controller]

Should I file a separate bug or is this OK?

Seperate bug please - differing hardware, and assign it to jgarzik

Hello,

I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to
isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage

The information contained herein indicates this is resolved from kernel 2.6.22
so I am closing. If I have erred, please accept my profuse apologies and re-open
and I will attempt to assist in its resolution.

Cheers
Chris

yep, you may close this bug, and I find FC8 Test 2 contains this patch.
