Ok, I have done tests to be sure. I tested the beta desktop cd. It includes the fix patch (beta alternate cd didn't because it was too late to be included or something like that)
So, with the desktop cd, I tried with a SATA dvd drive connected to Jmicron sata port, with nothing connected to ICH8. I also tried with an IDE dvd drive connected to Jmicron ide port : same result, the cd boots and soon I got the error reported by Joel Ebel :
PCI: JMB36x: Enabling dual function on 0000:03:00.0
And then 4 of:
Cannot allocate resource region {0..4} of device 0000:03:00.0
then an Error while updating region 0000:03:00.0/0 and lots of 0's

Conclusion : the fix really doesn't work for everyone.

On my MSI Neo-F, there's a Jmicron 361. With linux-source-2.6.17 2.6.17-10.24, the change claimed : "Works for the 366 and 363 eval boards that JMicron provided me. SATA (ahci) appears to be working as well."
So Jmicron 361 was not tested. But "Asus P5B-VM" used by Joel Ebel has a JMB363. So it is seems that for all sorts of Jmicron there's still a problem. Really.
