Subject: Re: 2.6.33: libata issues with VIA SATA/PATA controller

Hi Jeff

It's at the end of my previous post.

Any ideas as to how I can capture it?  Since the SATA disc interfaces stop
working long before they are mounted none of the early boot messages make it
to disc.  All the interesting bits are therefore scrolled into the bit
bucket.

A serial console might be doable (is there documentation about how to set
one up?) but that would take some time to arrange - I'm only physically at
the machine in question sporadically and I'd have to rustle up another PC
ready for my next visit.  It could be done, but might take some time.

For sure.  In terms of the detailed failure messages what I posted
previously is about all that was shown.

I'll see if I can squeeze this in this afternoon and report back.
