In my logs I have:

  NFORCE3-250: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:08.0
  NFORCE3-250: chipset revision 162
  NFORCE3-250: not 100%% native mode: will probe irqs later
  NFORCE3-250: 0000:00:08.0 (rev a2) UDMA133 controller

The difference seems to be the message about the BIOS and the cable
bits.
