    I guess I missed that one, as I was specifically looking for ICH6 issues
    (hence found the PR, and a lot of chat about ICH6 RAID support) and missed
    all the rest :(

    I can't run 6.0 on it - I might see if there's a way of forcing the system
    to pick the generic/DMA33 driver it was using before, or check the patches
    out. Failing that, I guess it's back to 5.4-R for me :(

    Thanks for the info,
