2.6.27-rc5 cannot even boot (AMD64, quad-core, AHCI-SATA)

First: thanks for the nice new features all the time (I hope full XEN
support will be in-kernel soon).

I currently run a 2.6.26.3 kernel which works (on the machine I type
this e-mail). I tried 2.6.27-rc4, works too. But -rc5 does not even
boot, and I have no idea how to produce a log of what's happening as it
doesn't even find the disks.

As far as I could read on screen, there are some "PCI INT A" not
resettable for AHCI-SATA, and all the USB drivers do NOT load as it
cannot reset the controller. So even my keyboard does not work, as it's
USB.

The mainboard is an ABIT AX78, with an AMD Phenom(tm) 9850 Quad-Core
Processor, 8GB RAM. I attach a bit of hardware info (lspci, lsmod,
kernel-config files from 2.6.26.3 and .27-rc5), so maybe somebody finds
it useful.

In case of questions please contact me directly, I am not on this list.
