Description Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2006-01-19 05:50:45 UTC 
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: never worked  
Distribution: Ark Linux  
Hardware Environment: ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 mainboard (BIOS 1.50), Maxtor 
6Y060M0 60GB SATA Harddisk connected to SATA1 port 
Software Environment: Ark Linux dockyard-devel 
Problem Description: The sata_uli module loads fine and detects the 
controller, but fails to see any attached harddisks. The harddisk is seen and 
identified correctly in the BIOS setup. 
 
Related messages on bootup: 
libata version 1.20 loaded.

This happens both with an x86 and an x86_64 kernel. 
 
Steps to reproduce:  
Boot Linux on an ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 mainboard w/ an attached Maxtor 6Y060M0 
60GB SATA harddisk, try to use the SATA port.
