Remove the drivers/ide stuff from you system and let libata (ata_piix)

Appears first and that's where the other driver has taken control of the
drives. I had the same issue on my thinkpad, getting rid of the whole
IDE stuff solved the problem (because the other drivers does no longer
grab the drive).
This ThinkWiki entry should apply to your laptop just as well, just
replace /dev/hda with /dev/hdc.
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_SATA_and_Linux#No_DMA_on_system_hard_disk
also this laptop has nothing on ide0 - both the harddrive and dvdrom are
on ide1.
is this confusing things?
Probably ide0 is pure SATA, while ide1 has the PATA adapters (just a
guess).

Thank Bjorn,
I tried this and the kernel couldn't find the root volumegroup - so i
got a kernel panic.
I am not sure on how to tell the system the volumegroup is now on sd?
This is a
fc6 installation.
