I did some testing this morning on my Via box that contains a VT8237A
SATA controller (pci_id 1106:0591).  The 2932 fc7 kernel wouldn't boot,
just like reported by Michal and others.  

I rebuilt the 2932 fc7 kernel package with Tejun Heo's patch at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/12/292 applied, and am now able to boot the
2932 kernel.

I'll send a message to lkml.
