Hi, just another data point, hope it makes sense

doubt it very much, but then i'm not an expert :)

Well, I dunno if later versions 'fix' it but I'm unable to tell whether
its the driver or the chipset thats broken [0]. I am seeing much the
same as you except that the problem affects only one drive, and i use
dma-33.
I have two hard drives on ide channel 0 and a hard drive & a cdrom on
ide channel 1, where the cdrom drive is on the master [1] and the hard
drive is slave [2]. At bootup, the ata-slave times out. It is however
fully functional under 3.4. The two hard drives and the cdrom are
recognised by the 'atac' controller, but not the final drive, which is a
Seagate Medallist Pro 4520
I think the answer will be to comment out the ata stuff from the kernel
and put in the wd stuff but heres hoping getting all the entries ok in
both kernel & fstab :)
Here is my dmesg output:

[0] i know, cheap hardware :)
[1] on a completely seperate topic that I cant fathom, I can boot from
both redhat 6.1 CD and latest SuSE CD with this drive but not with any
FreeBSD CD ( i have tried since 2.2.5 - all Walnut Creek Cds ) - are
some CD drives incompatible with Rockridge?
[2] should it be an issue having the HD on secondary channel slave?
cheers
