Well, and does your system end up detecting ata1 (or it doesn't exist in
yours, maybe) ? Someone suspects that the 'momentary stall' at that
stage could be s'thing to do with probe for ata1 (a couple others have
it - I have it too on a clone that I run and no stall) but even a kernel
compile without ata1 still yields no difference.
