I bought this mobo second hand, but nothing was mentioned that there was anything wrong with it, doesn't mean there isn't. So trying to work out if it is hardware or simply a BIOS setting/update in need.
My problem is the SATA1 and SATA2 ports. SATA3 and SATA4 work fine. I have tried cables and HDD's that work flawlessly on ports 3 and 4 on ports 1 and 2 and get these errors.

Maybe a different controller for 1 and 2 compared to 3 and 4 ?
Well a lshw gives me these key information.
Code:
*-ide:1
description: IDE interface
product: CK8S Serial ATA Controller (v2.5)
vendor: nVidia Corporation
physical id: 9
bus info: pci@00:09.0
logical name: scsi0
logical name: scsi1
version: a2
width: 32 bits
clock: 66MHz
capabilities: ide bus_master cap_list scsi-host
configuration: driver=sata_nv
resources: ioport:9e0-9e7 ioport:be0-be3 ioport:960-967 ioport:b60-b63 ioport:cc00-cc0f io
port:d000-d07f irq:177
*-ide:2
description: IDE interface
product: CK8S Serial ATA Controller (v2.5)
vendor: nVidia Corporation
physical id: a
bus info: pci@00:0a.0
logical name: scsi2
logical name: scsi3
version: a2
width: 32 bits
clock: 66MHz
capabilities: ide bus_master cap_list scsi-host
configuration: driver=sata_nv
resources: ioport:9f0-9f7 ioport:bf0-bf3 ioport:970-977 ioport:b70-b73 ioport:e400-e40f io
port:e800-e87f irq:185
Notice bus info lines and the logical name line. So the "bad" SATA controller is on bus pci@00:09.0 and the "good"
Code:
0000:00:08.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK8S Parallel ATA Controller (v2.5) (rev a2)
0000:00:09.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK8S Serial ATA Controller (v2.5) (rev a2)
0000:00:0a.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK8S Serial ATA Controller (v2.5) (rev a2)
So I can't see why there would be any software issue with the kernel, modules and the 2 SATA controllers.
So my conclusion is either a mis-config in the BIOS [searched high and low last night until 3am trying different settings with IDE,SATA and RAID options on and off] or a faulty SATA controller ?
Maybe a BIOS update ?
Anyone who has used this board, can you shed your experiences on this. Thanks.
