westerndigitalhung isn't the problem. the problem is that the locking used by sdiahci.c originally had several races waiting for drives to become ready. (is there any chance you have a quirky drive?) i submitted a patch on may 29 that i believe fixes this problem. but you can also use the version in my contrib area, which i updated today. the major change is that broken sata:pata bridges that don't do udma mode 5 (required for sata) are now supported. there's also an attempt to support a via southbridge. but having no hardware, it's not clear that i've got that working. - erik
