Current 2.6.25 git head now panics reliably on boot if you have a SATAPI device connected. The problem was introduced by the libata merge trying to pull out all the SFF code into a separate module. Unfortunately, if you're a satapi device you usually need to call atapi_request_sense, which has a bare invocation of a SFF callback which is NULL on non-SFF HBAs. Fix this by making the call conditional.
