Today I plugged in a brand new sil3132 controller (LYCOM SATA PE-103
2-CH) in my server, put it in the secondary graphics-card 16x
PCI-Express slot (I wanted to find out if it worked there), hooked port
0 up to a PMP and attached two disks on port 0 and 1 and powered my
server on.
After getting alot of errors at kernel start when it was detecting the
disks (not saved, sorry) I started to eliminate things and narrow it down:
* SATA-controller is now in a "normal" 1x PCI-Express slot.
* No PMP, just one disk now attached to port 0 on the controller.
* Switched SATA-cable.
* Switched to a different disk (different vendor)
All disks I tried works fine on the motherboard ICH8 controler.

This seems strange, the drive apparently reported command aborted when
trying to read the first sectors of the disk, but there's no indication
of why (there's nothing set in Serror).
Can you test the controller in a different machine? It could be faulty..
