That doesn't seem to happen on an nforce2 board here:

hda: 240121728 sectors (122942 MB) w/7936KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63,
UDMA(133)
hda: cache flushes supported

hdc: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(66)

So this might be a chipset problem. Post the bugzilla # when its been done
and I'll add this if its revelent.
