Bug#391867: went back to old IDE

[Andrew Lindh <andrew@netplex.net>]

I tried kernel 2.6.23 and had the same problems.

System is using AHCI for SATA drives and NCQ. I disabled NCQ and it
got better but the problem did not go away.

I also tried Maxtor 6B300S0 Rev: BANC1E00 with the same results (some
times the Maxtor made it worse and the system was mostly useless).

I did find a drive that worked with NCQ and AHCI, an old 160G SATA disk
WDC WD1600JS-60N  Rev: 10.0 It did not seem to cause any errors when
it was alone in the system.

I disabled AHCI in the bios (back to old ICH6 IDE only mode). Now it is
using the ata_piix and the system is happy with all drives again...
