RE: fedora 6 kernel panic issues

Actually the controller is on the drive now, not on the motherboard.
This has been true since the adoption of IDE.  The motherboard host
adapter or interface is only passing commands to the controller which is
actually on the disk.  It is a historical semantic misnomer that we call
a host adapter a controller.  So by changing out the drive you are
effectively changing the controller. 

Of course this says nothing about bad cables or bad power etc.

A parallel ATA controller setup means the master can take out the slave
and vice versa. SATA is one drive per cable which prevents that
happening.
