Here is an incomplete attempt to get the sata_nv ADMA code working.

I made another pass through my merge of the sata_nv driver to fix and
clean up a few things. I've only made the minimal changes necessary
to get it into a testable state; methinks it could do with a lot of
refactoring and cleanup, instead of all the "if (host->...host_type == ADMA)" tests.


Did you ever figure this out?

It looks like you're mixing two completely seperate bugs. The ata
timeouts and the lost ticks messages.

BIOS Information
Vendor: Phoenix Technologies Ltd.
Version: 2004Q3
Release Date: 10/12/2005


This is causing the sata failures:

Downgrade to match your other system (version 1.01). That will fix
the ata timeouts at least.

I'm still interested in the lost ticks messages though...
