Hash: SHA1

I've been working on the g4l since version 0.15 thru 0.21. I've recently found that later kernels 
no longer work with some sata controller. Below are the dmesg parts of the dmesg output of 
a 2.6.15.6 that works fine with the controller. All later kernels showed results similar to the 
2.6.18.2 kernel. I've even tried using the 2.6.15.6  .config file as a source to build newer 
kernels with the same results.  Unfortuntely, this machine is a primary server, so can only do 
very limited testing. Have also seen the same problem with latest Knoppix not seeing the 
SATA drive either.
