I see a similar behaviour since somwhere shortly before 5.2-BETA on my HP OmniBook 500: If I try to boot with the base station attached (which includes an additional ATA Channel with an CDROM Drive attached), I see the same messages as you see for ata3-master (which is exactly where the CDROM resides). If I remove the CDROM from the base station, so the ATA channel is still there, but with no devices, I have no problems booting. I don't have other devices (like harddisks) to test this behaviour with. Booting with the CDROM worked until well "a few weeks ago", I cannot tell exactly, because I don't use it very often. - Oliver -- | Oliver Brandmueller | Offenbacher Str. 1 | Germany D-14197 Berlin | | Fon +49-172-3130856 | Fax +49-172-3145027 | WWW: http://the.addict.de/ | | Ich bin das Internet.
