[Bug 290153] Re: Fails to find boot device in Intel D945Gnt

[Andy Whitcroft]

There is a commit related to link init failures in the final karmic
kernel which may be relevant.  So it may be worth testing with
2.6.31-14.46:

  commit e827d71dd6d39b3e28a519cb0bace9634d42aa7d
  Author: Tejun Heo <tj at kernel.org>

    libata: fix incorrect link online check during probe
    
    commit 3b761d3d437cffcaf160a5d37eb6b3b186e491d5 upstream.
    
    While trying to work around spurious detection retries for
    non-existent devices on slave links, commit
    816ab89782ac139a8b65147cca990822bb7e8675 incorrectly added link
    offline check logic before ata_eh_thaw() was called.  This means that
    if an occupied link goes down briefly at the time that offline check
    was performed, device class will be cleared to ATA_DEV_NONE and libata
    wouldn't retry thus failing detection of the device.
