It seems related to ICH8 PATA controller of SantaRosa chipset.
After a BIOS upgrade it *seems* to work, but it's strange, because the
device is /dev/hda and not /dev/scd0.
I google it and I think that this is a problem related to the
pata-postpone-patch of ata_piix
Don't you think a good idea to drop that patch?
Probably there are a lot of user with that chipset and without
a BIOS upgrade available.
Using Ubuntu I don't have any problem related to ata_piix.
Thank you for your time.
'Bye.
