What, I'm chopped liver? :^>  I'm getting these errors with a standard, 
_very_
not "state of the art", Via KT266A/8235 chipset.  PATA WDC 800 drive. 
All very standard stuff for a desktop.  Was running WinXP without a
problem for quite some time.  Generic kernel.  In fact when I tried to 
install 5.4
(and 5.4-SNAP from 5 July & 9 July), it errored out as soon as the 
install kernel
tried to write to the disk.  FS's do not work when you can't  write the 
superblocks
out...  Oh yeah, writing the disklabel also generated the same error.

So it's not just the SATA raid type chipsets.  It's plain vanilla ATA
controllers, also.
