>Description:
Extract from dmesg:

atapci0: <VIA 8237A SATA150 controller> port 0xe800-0xe807,0xe400-0xe403,0xe000-0xe007,0xd800-0xd803,0xd400-0xd40f,0xd000-0xd0ff irq 21 at device 15.0 on pci0
atapci0: Reserved 0x10 bytes for rid 0x20 type 4 at 0xd400
ioapic0: routing intpin 21 (PCI IRQ 21) to vector 49
atapci0: [MPSAFE]
atapci0: Reserved 0x100 bytes for rid 0x24 type 4 at 0xd000
ata2: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0
atapci0: Reserved 0x8 bytes for rid 0x10 type 4 at 0xe800
atapci0: Reserved 0x4 bytes for rid 0x14 type 4 at 0xe400
ata2: SATA connect ready time=0ms
ata2: sata_connect devices=0x1<ATA_MASTER>
ata2: [MPSAFE]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ first drive connected OK
ata3: <ATA channel 1> on atapci0
atapci0: Reserved 0x8 bytes for rid 0x18 type 4 at 0xe000
atapci0: Reserved 0x4 bytes for rid 0x1c type 4 at 0xd800
ata3: SATA connect status=00000001
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ second drive just shows ATA_SS_DET_DEV_PRESENT
ata3: [MPSAFE]

The status for ata3 doesn't come good even if we wait longer (up to 10 sec). However, if we ignore the ATA_SS_DET_DEV_PRESENT and press on regardless the ata3 drive comes up OK.


>How-To-Repeat:
Try the aforementioned hardware combination.
>Fix:
Workaround: press on regardless if ATA_SS_DET_DEV_PRESENT is received in these circumstances. But there must be a better fix.
