I have a (noname) SiI3112-Serial-ATA-Controller (this one) and a Western Digital WD2000 hard drive.
When booting without the hd attached to the controller everything runs fine, controller gets recognized etc.
When booting with the hd attached I get a "irq 3: Nobody cared!" message followed by a kernel panic.

Things I already tried:
- Various kernel sources (using vanilla-sources + reiser4 patch)
- Moving to card to different PCI-Slots (changes only the irq, message stays the same)
- Flashing the card's BIOS to the latest version (4.2.50)
- Attaching the hd to port 1 or port 2 on the card
- Flashing the motherboard's BIOS
- Messing around in motherboard's BIOS with Plug & Play options etc
- another pc (Intel motherboard, but the same problem occurs)

Hardware:
- Asrock K7VT4A+
- Athlon XP 2200+
- GeForce 3 Ti200
- Technisat Skystar2 PCI
- Realtek 8139 NIC
- Symbios Logic SCSI Controller

At the moment I'm running kernel 2.6.12.5.

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.

Try passing pci=routeirq on the kernel commandline.

This changed nothing. I also tried various ACPI and APIC settings without any success. :(

I believe I had the same problem.

One solution for me was to use the "irqpoll" option.

The other was to use the deprecated sata drivers. This gave me a long wait while it probed the non-existing hde slot on the card, which was easily fixed with "hdg=none"

That led me to the solution, thanks a lot!
I just built my kernel with IO-APIC (as described here) and it worked, without adding any boot parameters.
