Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] SATA detect fails on ICH7 chipset / DellPoweredgeSC430
Please can you do an 'lspci -nv' to find out the exact version of your
controller.

I'm wandering whether it features in pci/quirks.c and whether the fixup
code is borked on Xen.

Also, have you tried fiddling around with any of the BIOS IDE legacy
mode settings?

There really is no good explanation for a) why the MMIO region is so low
on native, and b) why it is different under Xen. I suspect this is a
native bug that is being compounded by Xen.
