About amd64 dualcore problems with two SATA disks and nforce4

[Daniel Valencia]

Hello,

A few months ago I pointed out a problem with AMD64
dualcore, and I even tracked the problem down to a few
commits at a particular date and time... Now that 6.1
is finally released, I tried it, and the problem is
still there... the boot process will crash when
detecting the second SATA disk in my system...  If
there is anything I can do to help fix that problem
(like testing and such), please let me know...

- Daniel
