I have seen the exact same error (on IRQ 10) with a Maxtor SATA drive on a
Silicon Image controller. Let's see:
00:0b.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3112 [SATALink/SATARaid]
Serial ATA Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3112 SATARaid Controller
Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 10
I/O ports at 9000 [size=8]
I/O ports at 9400 [size=4]
I/O ports at 9800 [size=8]
I/O ports at 9c00 [size=4]
I/O ports at a000 [size=16]
Memory at ee180000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]
Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
Motherboard is a VIA KT400, Soyo DRAGON Platinum IIRC.
Everything is OK until I put a SATA drive on the controller, and then it won't
boot. Machine is running right now just fine, using PATA drives.
