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. mkb.
