Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
Sata disk not identified during install boot.
Ubuntu Edgy x86-64
Motherboard: Asus M2R32-MVP (Latest bios)
Sata controller: Ati sb600
The kernel sees that the disk is plugged but fails to identify it.
I tried every bios sata setup: Native IDE, Legacy IDE, AHCI.
I tried also the feisty beta, but i get kernel panic (MCFG area is not e820-reserved). I overcame the panic with acpi=off. The disk however is not detected.
I tried also OpenSuse 10.2 (kernel 2.6.18) and the disk is not found.
Archlinux (0.7.2) instead is working (kernel 2.6.17 i think) and finds the disk.

The kernel output is the the same as this:
[17179583.244000] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF883E100 ctl 0x0 bmdma 0x0 irq 209

There is a thread on the Ubuntu forum on the same problem.
Someone suggested the kernel parameter acpi=force irqpoll.
However the solution is not good. I get a lot of:
...
[17179583.628000] unexpected IRQ trap at vector a8
[17179583.628000] unexpected IRQ trap at vector a8
[17179583.628000] unexpected IRQ trap at vector a8
...
and something like: the drive seems confused
I just looked a the archlinux kernel config file and i found that they have msi disabled. I started ubuntu with pci=nomsi.
And the problem disappears.
