We'll be using classical ide drivers for PATA devices in Beta2 -- so this bug is workarounded.
The bigger problem is as described in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214992#c3 which says it's a kernel problem that I have been able to confirm in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/.
I can't put any Linux on this system because the target partition is non-negotiably sata #16 or higher. If I want to install linux anywhere I choose on a disk, I'm stuck with PATA. Windoz makes no such imposition on how I logically carve up my huge disks.
I had a patch to use up to 256 partitions per disk independent of the type of disk. I can dig it out if anyone wants to test.
