I will attach dmesg output, hdparm and lspci. I have tried acpi=noirq, noapic,
irqpoll and pci=routeirq. The drives connected to promise controller fail to
identify. The dmesg for rc-3 with sata_promise 2.09 is truncated as the kernel loops indefinitely. Replacing sata_promise.c with version 2.08 from previous kernels allows 2.6.23-rc3 to boot (with some warnings during compile/boot).
Steps to reproduce: Boot the machine with the promise card connected.

Thanks for doing the bisection - it really helps.

Michal, one for the regression file, please.

Mikael: tsk ;)
