ata_piix: Quick question

Hi all.

Some time ago, I reported bug# 7170, as my ICH6 controller failed to detect my disks after kernel upgrade.

I tested the 2.6.20-rc1 kernel yesterday, and now the controller reports:

[   21.506369] ICH6: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:1f.1

[   23.990848] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

The disk is attatched to ata1, ata2 is not connected.

Is there something wrong here, or has the disk "just" been renamed ???
