Subject:  JMicron JMB363 SATA hard disk appears twice (sda + hdg)

Hello all,

I'm using a Debain unstable 2.6.18-3 kernel on an ASRock
motherboard (VIA K8T890 chipset). The motherboard has IDE, SATA
and SATA_II controllers:

I have a DVD burner attached to the first IDE channel and a hard
disk (THE hard disk) attached to the SATA_II controller.

The BIOS is set to use the SATA controllers in AHCI mode, not IDE.
However, the hard disk appears twice, first as hdg, then as sda.
Passing ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe as boot parameters to the kernel
doesn't seem to have any effect:

ATA/IDE-relative dmesg without noprobe:

combined_mode=libata libata.atapi_enabled=1 doesn't help either.

As a consequence of this double appearance, I get lots of error
messages concerning hdg: although these may be considered purely
aesthetical, they are rather bothersome and may actually hide some
more relevant bug or performance loss

Any suggestions on what might be wrong and what I could do to work
around this?

(Apart from changing motherboard, that given the USB EHCI problems
I'm having too, might be not too bad an idea.)
