'insmod ata' prints out nothing.  Then 'ls' also prints out nothing.

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: d0 d0 d0 d0
ata.c:391: incorrect signature
<the same result for device 0,1>
ata.c:470: PCI dev (0,17,1) compat=1 rega=0 regb=0
and that was all.

'ls' lists the first disk correctly, but the second disk is
just "(ata2)" and nothing else.

I'll also try the patch on my other machine, which has a promise sata
controller.
