I have not been able to figure out how to get the mail list archive search to give me anything useful yet. So far, neither the patch to /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-lowlevel.c or reverting to the 5.3-Release acpi.ko has solved my problem. It appears I have the same problem as Julian Dunn. The hang is occurring in the same place anyway.
