Re: 2.6.25-rc8-mm1: Intel SATA boot failure

Final report, seeing -mm2 is out:

- Netconsole works. (grumblestupidsusefirewallgrumble)

- The hang during boot only happens with kernels compiled with
CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL=y
It also doesn't always happen at the same point in the boot sequence.
I'm suspecting it might be triggered by some network packet.
Anyway, it's obviously *not* a SATA problem.
(That was just me jumping to conclusions, because ...)

- That leaves only the messages

ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80)
ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)

and accompanying delays during boot, for each installed SATA disk.
I'll try to find the time to retest this with 2.6.25-rc8-mm2.

Thanks,
Tilman
