This is the machine with the sata controller and sata disk:

ata.c:470: PCI dev (0,17,1) compat=0 rega=1f0 regb=3f6
ata.c:339: detecting device 0,0 (1f0, 3f6)
ata.c:376: Registers: 1 1 00
ata.c:397: ATA detected
<prints out model, firmware, sectors correctly for the pata drive>
ata.c:339: detecting device 0,1 (1f0, 3f6)
ata.c:376: Registers: 1 1 00
ata.c:397: ATA detected  <==== I'm guessing this is the sata drive.
