Trying to go from BIOS "v1.8" -> "v1.B" in preparation
for a dual core upgrade I ran into kernel hangs
initializing the SATA boot drive (libata).
As Duncan predicted, Knoppix and the 2005.1 LiveCD
booted clean as did a fresh install of 64 bit RH AS4.
I got Gentoo working by downgrading to kernel version
2.6.9-r9.
So, the old BIOS works with all versions of the kernel
going back a year. The new BIOS doesn't work with
kernel 2.6.11 and 2.6.12.
Anyone familiar with the recent changes to libata or
nv_sata drivers?
