I'm somwhat lost with this bug report as I'm not sure if I understand it
correctly. 
Is it correct to add the moudle "sata_promise" for the device with PCI
ID "8086:24cb" which is labeled " Intel Corp. 82801DB (ICH4) Ultra ATA
100 Storage Controller (rev 02)"?

I'm a little bit unsure because the device description does not mention
SATA and the only reference to the sata_promise module in the current
database is for a device with an other vendor ID. Martin or Markus do
you have more information.
