At the heart of the problem is that both distros ignored the recommendations to load pata_acpi and ata_generic *AFTER* specific host drivers. The underlying cause however is that if you D3 and then D0 an ATI IXP it helpfully throws away some configuration and won't let you rewrite it. Add checks to ata_generic and pata_acpi to pin ATIIXP devices. Possibly the real answer here is to quirk them and pin them, but right now we can't do that before they've been pcim_enable()'d by a driver. I'm indebted to David Gero for this. His bug report not only reported the problem but identified the cause correctly and he had tested the right values to prove what was going on [If you backport this for 2.6.24 you will need to pull in the 2.6.25 removal of the bogus WARN_ON() in pcim_enagle] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: David Gero <davidg@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/ata/ata_generic.c | 6 ++++++ drivers/ata/pata_acpi.c | 6 ++++++ drivers/ata/pata_atiixp.c | 3 --- 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff -puN drivers/ata/ata_generic.c~pata_atiixp-dont-disable drivers/ata/ata_generic.c --- a/drivers/ata/ata_generic.c~pata_atiixp-dont-disable +++ a/drivers/ata/ata_generic.c @@ -152,6 +152,12 @@ static int ata_generic_init_one(struct p if (dev->vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_AL) ata_pci_bmdma_clear_simplex(dev);
