Hmm, i will try adding a sata card instead..

I'm not actually using openSUSE, I just took the xen patches from
opensuse kernel and (with some slight modifications) applied them to
vanilla 2.6.27, my kernel is only patched with patches.xen.bz2, none
of the other opensuse patches are used.

So atapiix should not be selected? I tried switching it off already
but it didnt help.

Will do more testing tomorrow.
