ATA anomaly Question

Hey,

This also holds true for on board SATA controllers. I get this message
every time I boot my Shuttle SN95G with one disk being attached to the
first internal SATA port. The second disk is IDE, attached via
UDMA-100 cable; I don't see the message here. But then, disk speed
seems to be "normal" for both disks.

My test machine here's equipped with a Promise Ultra-100 TX PCI board,
which doesn't cause any problems and is correctly detected by DFly.
I'm not sure, but I think it's because the Fastrak family boards have
different [newer] chipsets, probably not yet being probed for. But
that's just a guess.
