I can confirm the problem on the PE850. I have it working with my
latest 4.X SATA patches (which I haven't published yet). I might
be able to look into this.
FWIW, I my code these SATA registers in 4.X before the become alive:
ata2: Intel SATA P0 status 0 error 4050000 scontrol 0 0 1
ata2: Intel SATA P0 status 113 error 4050000 scontrol 0 0 1
ata2: Intel SATA P0 status 113 error 0 scontrol 0 0 1
ata3: Intel SATA P1 status 0 error 4050000 scontrol 0 1 1
ata3: Intel SATA P1 status 113 error 4050000 scontrol 0 1 1
ata3: Intel SATA P1 status 113 error 0 scontrol 0 1 1
On other Intel controllers they I don't have to acknowledge the
errors off the bat.
