Booting on nforce3 with SATA

[Zafod Biblbrox <biblbrox@centrum.sk>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to do a net boot on a nforce3 chipset (uses sata_nv module) with
Seagate 160GB SATA drive, but the drive is not recognized:

> ata1 is slow to respond, please be patient
> ata1 failed to respond (30 secs)

I have googled for help and have found out, that the same problem has been
noticed with FC3. They seem to have found a fix in the bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140367, but the
proposed fixes are probably not applied to the install kernel.

Do you have any suggestions how to overcome this problem?
