I'm running 2.6.37 on 64 bit Arch Linux.
Motherboard GA-MA790X-UD3P, which is using south bridge AMD SB750.
4 HDDs and one SSD using SATA AHCI.
Every boot I'm getting the error messages below, which seems to be a hardware problem with AMD chipset, apparently. The problem is mainly that this does delay my boot quite a bit (couple of seconds, but relative to the rest of the boot time it's slow). It also seems like that according to dmesg the devices require some sort of a SB600 workaround (which probably applies to my SB750 as well), and since this is required every time, I should somehow be able to force it to be used instantly (instead of trying and failing first).
