I have an IO Crest SI-PEX40057 SATA III PCI-e card in my machine, and if I
hook any hard drive to it, Haiku completely fails to boot and instead just
reboots the machine as soon as it shows "Loading system" on the screen,
before the graphical boot loader or anything else appears.
"IO Crest SATA III 4-Port PCI-e 2.0 x 2 Card with Marvell HyperDuo RAID
Mode Support and Low Profile Brackets SI-PEX40057"

This appeared after r46284 (which works). r46287 is affected and does not
boot.
Merely unhooking the drive from the card "fixes" the problem and
everything works fine.
I tried hooking up two different hard drives to the card, and both cause
this problem, even though neither drive is the Haiku drive. These are just
extra storage drives. (And everything works fine in Windows and Linux.)
Also, even with r46284 and earlier, if you try to enter the safe mode boot
menu by holding down shift or space, this will cause a reboot before you
load anything.
I went back to r45284 (100 revisions back) and still had the same problem,
so I'm not sure how far back that issue goes (reboot when trying to enter
safe mode menu with shift/space).
And again, just unhooking the drive from the card restores expected
functionality and the system boots properly.

Comment (by pulkomandy):
We debugged this over IRC earlier today, and we found that the crash
occurs in the int13 call to read a sector from the disk. All previous
operations with int13 (detecting the availability of the "extended read"
feature, and reading the drive capacity) work fine, but trying to read a
sector from the disc will reboot the machine. Working with other drives in
the system which are not attached to the SATA card works fine. So it could
be a bug in the card's BIOS, or a problem with the parameters we give to
it.
