This is ASUS K8V SE Deluxe on amd64 with SiI 3114 SATA controller. I 
upgraded from Ubuntu 6.06 kernel 2.6.15-23 to vanilla 2.6.17.4 and got 
following errors shortly after the boot:

Jul 26 00:35:39 cheradenine kernel: ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/04 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/00/00
Jul 26 00:35:39 cheradenine kernel: ata1: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

Mine is "sata_sil 0000:00:0d.0: version 0.9".

0000:00:0d.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 02)

If these are symptoms of the same bug, it is not sata_via specific.
