    I am happy to see these in the kernel now, but I have yet to get them
    working on my KT6 Delta KT600 motherboard with the VT8237 SATA
    southbridge controller or even the Promise controller.

    These are the devices:

      Bus 0, device 13, function 0:
        RAID bus controller: PCI device 105a:3373 (Promise Technology, )
        (rev 2).
          IRQ 19.
          Master Capable. Latency=96. Min Gnt=4.Max Lat=18.
          I/O at 0xec00 [0xec3f].
          I/O at 0xe800 [0xe80f].
          I/O at 0xe400 [0xe47f].
          Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xdffdb000 [0xdffdbfff].
          Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xdffa0000 [0xdffbffff].

    Bus 0, device 15, function 0:
        RAID bus controller: PCI device 1106:3149 (VIA Technologies, In)
        (rev 128).
          IRQ 16.
          Master Capable. Latency=32.
          I/O at 0xd800 [0xd807].
          I/O at 0xd400 [0xd403].
          I/O at 0xd000 [0xd007].
          I/O at 0xcc00 [0xcc03].
          I/O at 0xc800 [0xc80f].
          I/O at 0xc400 [0xc4ff].

    And I am booting the kernel with these parameters to not let the IDE
    drivers catch the SATA-drives:
    ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe hde=noprobe hdg=noprobe apm=power-off

    I am booting from a working IDE drive, to see if I can get the
    SATA-drives working:

    ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
    VP_IDE: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:0f.1

     hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
    hdb: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache, UDMA(33)

    And here is the SATA on the Promise chipset (SATA378 TX2plus):
    libata version 0.75 loaded.
    sata_via version 0.11
    ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xD800 ctl 0xD402 bmdma 0xC800 irq 16

    ata1: thread exiting
    ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xD007
    ata2: thread exiting
    scsi1 : sata_via
    (kernel continues)

    SATA on the VIA-chipset (VIA Serial ATA RAID):
    ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xD800 ctl 0xD402 bmdma 0xC800 irq 16
    ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xD000 ctl 0xCC02 bmdma 0xC808 irq 16

    ata2: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 156301488 sectors (lba48)

    SCSI device sda: drive cache: write through
     sda:<3>ata1: DMA timeout, stat 0x4
    (then hangs the kernel)

    What can I do to make either the Promise or the VIA interface work
    fine with the SATA disks?
