This is very normal and I see this all the time where the PATA part is a=20
separate PCI function from the SATA part.

This is likely harmless as well.

Probably not.  His issue is that some device that _isn't_ on IRQ 23 in the=
=20
_PRT tables, actually _is_ on IRQ 23.  The key is to find out what device=20
(not atapci2) is generating those interrupts.  Turning each device off=20
individually to test can figure this out.
