knoppix disabling irq #3 (sata_sil)
 

I'm booting Knoppix 4.0.2 and it always freezes after disabling irq #3 (sata_sil).

I've tried all commands, including failsafe.

I've tried the following options:
pci=biosirq
pci=bios
atapicd
nodma
noscsi
noapic
acpi=off
(there many be others I'm forgetting.)

I've also tried disabling irq #3 in the bios.


Here's the just of what is outputted:
scsi0: sata_sil
irq 3: nobody cared!

~
report_bad_irq
note_interrupt
do_IRQ
common_interrupt
do_softirq
irq_exit
default_idle
cpu_idle
start_kernel
~

handlers:
[<c0258bec>] (ata_interrupt+0x0/0x100)
Disabling IRQ #3


I've confirmed that irq #3 is the SATA Controller (3112A?). I've run into problems with the controller while installing Debian, so it doesn't surprise me that I would with Knoppix too.


Thanks
