Comment 0 for bug 1005226

I'm having a similar issue to bug #260543, "JMicron SATA Controller. Problem booting with kernel 2.6.24-19. Boots fine with kernel 2.6.22-14" [ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/260543 ]. While HDDs conected to my SB950 controller are detected, ones connected to the Marvell 88SE9172 Controller are not, also causing a significant delay in boot times. This was also present previously when when I used kernel 3.0.0 in LinuxMint 12. This issue does not usually present when IOMMU is disabled in BIOS. The affected drives are still able to be booted from and recognized within Windows 7.

## dmesg results for delayed period:
[ 6.908078] ata9: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
