В общем - прямо беда.

В домашнем сервере кончилось место. Прикупил винт на 500 гб и контроллер. Поставил контроллер, что с винтом, что без винта, ядро выдает такое сообщение
st: Version 20070203, fixed bufsize 32768, s/g segs 256
sata_via 0000:00:0b.0: version 2.1

PCI: Unable to reserve I/O region #1:10@de00 for device 0000:00:0b.0
sata_via: probe of 0000:00:0b.0 failed with error -16

Ось - slackware 12. Все пакты и ядро родные.

Обновил ядро до последнего, ошибка та же. Пробовал гуглить, ничего вразумительного не нашел :(

Контроллер такой
