SII chipsets were ok in 4.x, but the newer ATA code broke badly with them.
I've had a PR open on this since February, and many others have reported
similar issues. The problems still exist in the 6.x-BETA releases I've
checked out, and are in some cases MORE severe (for me anyway) than they are
in 5.4.
Well, it doesn't affect just the SII chips.. I see the same on an
Intel ICH6 chipset but never after the kernel has mounted the root
fs. Sometimes it takes several attempts until it manages to do so,
though. The machine works w/o any such problems on other OSes. I've
deferred update of another machine (which is a hosted box and cannot
afford random hangs at boot) because of general flakeyness of the
ATA/SATA code in 5.4 (significantly worse than with 5.3, imho). If
these issues don't go away completely soon (in 6.x) I'll have to
look for some alternative system which doesn't make such a fuss
with mainstream hardware.

i knew about the problems with the sii chipset, had no idea it was just
as bad with the ich6 chipset, I have a Seagate 160gb SATA drive on an
Intel SATA controller so far no problems though in 5.4-stable, my system
did not like 6 at all, 7 was fine again..
