Disabling ata device in 5.3?

[Gerard Samuel]

I have an ASUS A7V8X that has ATA SATA RAID options.
There are no drives hooked up to it.
When the box boots it hangs (not for too long) when its probing
the SATA interface.
I dont remember if there was any options in the bios to disable it, but
is it possible to turn it off via a hint or kernel option...
Thanks
