I have nothing on these IDE controllers. This is more or less required. Probing in parallel isn't possible with current probe technology, and the ATA spec says that a wait of 31 seconds is required after reset. The driver is buggy and only waits 10 seconds after reset, but it also waits 10 seconds before reset and retries the reset, giving a total wait of 40 seconds per controller. >>Fix: Disable the unused controllers in the BIOS, or disable the unused drivers in the kernel config.
