     Hello,

  This problem of some PATA hardware driven by piix driver instead of
ata_piix is in Debian since a long time (see also bug # 444182) : in
the SVN web interface, I see it first 8499, 2 years ago, in Etch  :
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/dists/trunk/linux-2.6/debian/patches/debian/drivers-ata-ata_piix-postpone-pata.patch?op=log&rev=0&sc=0&isdir=0

But I didn't find why it have been added, which bug it fixes : does
anybody have info about this ? Is it reported at kernel.org ? Perhaps
it has been fixed since the addition of this patch ?

  Thanks for any tip,
	Fred.
