I don't know exact controller but this is Pentium M based laptop.
HDD is primary master while DVD drive is primary slave. :-/
And it's been working like this since FreeBSD 5.3.

Anyway, I've tried your advice but unfortunately it did not help.
Here is longer log (retyped from screen):

ata0: reset tp1 mask=03 ostat0=50 ostat1=00
ata0: stat0=0x50 err=0x01 lsb=0x00 msb=0x00
ata0: stat1=0x00 err=0x01 lsb=0x14 msb=0xeb
ata0: reset tp2 stat0=50 stat1=00 devices=0x20001
(aprobe0:ata0:0:0:0): SIGNATURE: 0000
ata1: reset tp1 mask=03 ostat0=00 ostat1=00
(aprobe0:ata0:0:1:0): SIGNATURE: eb14"

Then it hangs.  And please note it looks differently when USB is not turned
off in BIOS.  Though I have no idea if / how that matters.

So what now please ?  Any other things to try ?

Thanks,

Martin
