[Bug 37382] Re: ata timeout freezes system partly

[KWoo]

Had a similar problem. Have a PATA cdrom drive and a SATA hard drive on
a ICHM6 chipset. According to the libata FAQ, Intel chipsets like this
combine the PATA and SATA functions and the IDE and libata drivers
fight. Fixed it by adding "combined_mode=libata" to the kernel
parameters in GRUB. Has booted multiple times without this problem now.

Got the information from:
http://linux-ata.org/faq.html#combined
