I suffer from the same problem. acpi=off doesn't help and neither does all_generic_ide. The kernel from 7.04 does boot my system perfectly, only 2.6.22 seems to have this issue. Motherboard is a an A7n8x Asus nforce 2 board with a built in Silicon Image 3112 SATA controller. The hard drive that is not detected is an older Maxtor 40gig hd with a sata conversion card connected to it. Here is the last bit of the dmesg.
