Through my experience , when "atapiix" gets loaded at boot up linux
intends access hard drives via IDE interface.

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.
