2.6.19 sucks. Not only it moved CONFIG_SATA_* to CONFIG_ATA_* but also my /dev/sda is now /dev/sdb!!!! And, when ata_piix loads, there's a delay of 20 seconds at least. After changing every /sda to /sdb in /etc/fstab, I booted the box. dmesg is full of timeouts coming from sda, which seems to be my DVD+RW drive (which on 2.6.18 is on hda) Someone messed SATA (ICH at least) very badly with 2.6.19. I hope this helps someone. Regards, Norberto
