Bug in libata-sff and one that really proved the value of the oops work
you did. Nobody ever reported it in bugzilla in a way that made it
apparent what was up (I guess as it was an install crash) and probably
99% of users hitting it wouldn't even have thought their soundcard had an
unused, and possible unwired, IDE port.
