When installing the 08-dec-1999 snapshot (before ATA went in GENERIC),
 a recompile from the kernel with the ATA driver instead of the WD
driver resulted in an unbootable system because of the following 
error (approx.):

mounting root /dev/ad0s1a
ata-master: lost disk contact
ata: resetting devices ..

After this, the machine hangs and doesn't respond to anything but a push
on the Big Red Button. A few days later, this was fixed by Soren (sp?) but
it broke again as I recompiled my system yesterday (This was the first
time after it had been fixed, so I don't know when exactly it broke).

Harddisks: Western Digital Caviar (2.0 GB), non-DMA and
           Western Digital Caviar (2.5 GB), DMA-33.
Mainboard: Asus P5A-B Super7
Chipset: ALi Aladdin V AGPset

Taking the UDMA disk out doesn't help. Everything works just
fine with the WD driver...

Any ideas?
