You can not boot from sata on ck804, the
reason is that the sata controller can not work on compatible mode. If you real
want to boot from SATA
Current USB IRQ setting in LinuxBIOS should
be good enough to make use device working. Please make sure setting on
mptable.c is right. Also you may need to set apic for kernel to enable io-apic
to be used.

USB 2.0
Thanks. I plan to boot
from SATA and not from USB. Do any other boards supported by LinuxBIOS
(whose source is available in the source tree) bringup USB that I could use as
a reference?

Assuming you don't hope to boot from USB, all you really should need is
to setup the IRQ map, AFAIK. Then the Linux kernel will detect it
and
be able to attach the appropriate driver.
