And, have you checked that the fix in question was not backported to our 2.6.8
kenrel ? I see at least this :
* Fix ata_piix controller numbering in combined mode (closes: #270194)
(Christoph Hellwig).
Which could be related. If it doesn't fix your problems, please fill a bug
report against the kernel package, so we get a chance to know about this and
fix it before the sarge release.
