I think it'd be really, REALLY helpful to a lot of people if you, or someone, could explain in moderate detail how this might be done. I tried doing it myself, but I'm not sufficiently expert at configuring kernels that I was ever able to figure out how to do it. Obviously, the short version is: switch back to Fedora 6. But this kind of problem with libata---and yes, you're almost surely right that it's not one problem but lots---is sufficiently widespread that a Mini HOWTO, say, would be really welcome and, I'm guessing, widely used.
