2.6.20-git and 2.6.21-rc1, failed to boot on sata_via

["Jean-Luc Coulon (f5ibh)" <jean-luc.coulon@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi,

I've an ASUS A8V motherboard with a via chipset:

[jean-luc@tangerine] % lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8T800Pro Host Bridge
00:00.1 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8T800Pro Host Bridge
00:00.2 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8T800Pro Host Bridge
00:00.3 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8T800Pro Host Bridge
00:00.4 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8T800Pro Host Bridge
00:00.7 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8T800Pro Host Bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8237 PCI bridge  
[K8T800/K8T890 South]

2 SATA drives are on this chipset, using lvm over a raid1.

I've a X86-64 architecture on an amd64.

Since 2.6.20-git<somewhere before 10>, the system refuses to boot, I've  
the same problem with 2.6.21-rc1.

I've opened a bug, see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8025
but I'm not sure it was the appropriate way.

At boot time, I've the following messages:

ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0f.0[B] GSI 20(level, low) -> IRQ 20
sata_via 0000:00:0f.0: failed on iomap PCI BAR 0
sata_via 0000:00:0f.0: out of memory
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:0f.0 is disabled
sata_via: probe of 0000:00:0f.0 failed with error -12

Then the raid is not assembled and the system wont boot.

I've found a quite similar problem in the archive but which seems to  
have been fixed in the meantime, in this thread:
