I've installed kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.1287_FC4 on a Gigabyte 
GA-8i915G Pro ( with has ICH6 ) with a pentium 4 2.8g HT 
chip. It has a 300g maxtor SATA drive ( only drive ).

It boots, but then kernel panic mounting root.

It looks alright until:

SCSI subsystem initialized
Loading libata.ko module
Loading ata_piix.ko module
Loading dm-mod.ko module
ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_scsi_ioctl
ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_std_bios_param
ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_tf_read
ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_tf_write
ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_bmdma_start
ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_bmdma_setup
ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_bmdma_stop
[...........]
ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_port_start
insmod: error inserting '/lib/ata_piix.ko': -1 Unknown 
symbol in module


and then all sorts of bad stuff happens.

I did go get 2.6.12-rc4 today. Built it with ata_piix 
compiled in ( not as a module ).  That worked. Booted. 
Mounted root.  However, same kernel panic if ahci.ko was 
also compiled in. I also got a kernel panic when ata_piix 
was a module and I removed ahci.ko from modules.
