Thomas,

Have spoken to Soren, from my bootlog he believes that the problem is in
atapicam causing the system to lock up. He is happy to answer some
questions but doesnt have time to delve into atapicam himself.

Did you author atapicam, I have seen your name on the sourcecode, can
you help me further? Whats next?

Thanks Adam.

OK, so the problem is in atapicam interaction somehow.

Yes, Thomas is the way to go. If the problem(s) needs something specific
to be changed/fixed in ATA then is the time to get back to me so it can
be incorporated. Of course I'll answer questions as to how interaction
with ATA should be handled along the way if need be, but I dont have the
time nor motivation to dig into how/why/if atapicam works...
