    Hello Jeff or someone who read this,

    its my 3 attemp (LKML Post 0410.2/0129l) to get a answer to following thing.
    First of all I'm using a NForce 3 250GB (MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum)
    With 3 SATA disks
    Maxtor 6B200M/NCQ
    2xSamsung SP1213C

    My Problem is when the kernel starts with libsata and sata_nv compiled in
    when I boot the System with libsata and sata_nv it removes the first disk (Maxtor 6B200B)
    then a abnormal timeout occur while adding the device: this message appears
    error is "ATA: abnormal status 0x0D on port 0x9E7" and "ata is to slow to answer"
    now the corious thing on that is if I wait 40 or 50 sec maybe it work or maybe not..
    when I'm using the old "CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA:"
    everything works great here. I dont know whats wrong but i tested it on 5 Motherboard
    there the Maxtor working without hicks (VIA KT880Pro,i875P,i925,SIS755,Promise 378 SATA TX2,
    but when I plug it on a NForce 3 250GB (MSI K8N Neo2 or Gigabyte K8NSNXP or even new MSI K8N Neo2)
    the same timeout occur..the Maxtor 6B200M is SATA2 but full SATA compatible.
    I thought it is because of hotplug support but disabling all this stuff did not work.
    I hope someone know why this happen and how to fix this.

    Thanks for help
