Thanks Alan
I have pulled the latest git and can confirm (via some reading of the
code) that I have the latest patches for the inic162x as modified by
Tejun Heo.
I have now compiled and installed 2.6.26-rc1.
My boot disk is also SATA though and connected via an onboard intel
chip (00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB (ICH5) SATA
Controller (rev 02)) which requires the ata_piix driver.
On RHEL5 2.6.18 I am able to boot off ata_piix but not access the
inic162x, and on 2.6.26-rc1 I am unable to access ata_piix hardware
but inic162x seems to work.
The issue I am experiencing with ata_piix is identical to: http://www.nabble.com/-2.6.18,19--SATA-boot-problems-(ICH6-ICH6W)-td7799939.html
Any directions would be appreciated.

I have read up as much as possible to start looking into hacking the
driver to support LBA48. Any pointers / suggestions before I start
bumping my head?
Tejun committed an updated driver to the devel tree so if you pull the
current git trees you should be able to get it to work.
