Bug#271769: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7-smp: ATA detect failed on my AMD768 mb

[david@dward.us (David Ward)]

I have this same problem, accept its only with the 2.6.8-3-k7 kernel and
its a different chipset.  I resolved it by installing the 2.6.8-3-686
kernel and all IDE disks detected correctly.

I could, however, get the disks to be detected, if once I booted up off
my SCSI disks I ran fdisk on each HDD and then simply quit.  It seemed
to "turn them on".
Not a very practical solution though.
