[PlanetCCRMA] rt kernels, ho, ho, ho!

Alas, Paul's solution to blacklist b43 didn't work for me.

Using the stock kernel, towards the end of dmesg I get:

[    2.202021] ata7: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[    2.202095] ata9: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
[    2.205252] ata9.00: ATA-7: Maxtor 7Y250M0, YAR511W0, max UDMA/100
[    2.205254] ata9.00: 488397168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48
[    2.211148] ata9.00: configured for UDMA/100
[    2.211342] ata7.00: ATA-8: WDC WD3200AAKS-00V1A0, 05.01D05, max UDMA/133
[    2.211345] ata7.00: 625142448 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32)
[    2.218071] ata7.00: configured for UDMA/133

With the CCRMA kernel, it hangs at this point and goes around and arounf 
two or three ata#s (like ata3 and ata12) with messages that include:

ata12:000:device reported invalid CHS sector 0

Any ideas?
