Subject: Macbook Pro SATA Drives not seen in 2.6.25

I have a couple of Macbook Pros. The newest one -- based on the Penryn 
Core 2 Duo with ICH8 -- will not boot with any 2.6.25 kernel (I have 
tried 2.6.25 and 2.6.25.3). It boots fine with 2.6.24.7 as well as with 
2.6.26-rc2. It also boots fine with 2.6.22. I have specific reasons why 
I need to run 2.6.25 so I would appreciate any help here. It seems the 
SATA drives are detected, but then for each partition during bootup I see:

ata3: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 0)

The same 2.6.25 kernels boot fine on my older Macbook Pro with ICH7 and 
I do not see this error.

I would be happy to run a git bisect to help identify the issue, but if 
this problem is already well understood (hey, it's fixed in 2.6.26), I 
can think of better ways to spend my time.

Please copy me personally on any replies. I often subscribe to the list 
but it's too much mail right now. Thanks in advance.

Andrew
