ATA scsi driver misbehavior under kdump capture kernel

I've run into a problem with the ATA SCSI disk driver when running in a
kdump dump-capture kernel.

I'm running on 2-processor x86_64 box.  It has 2 scsi disks, /dev/sda and
/dev/sdb

My kernel is 2.6.22, and built to be a dump capturing kernel loaded by kexec.
When I boot this kernel by itself, it finds both sda and sdb.

But when it is loaded by kexec and booted on a panic it only finds sda.

Any ideas from those familiar with the ATA driver?

I put some printk's into it and get this:

Standalone:
