Additional information:  I added a printf at line 236 of ata-queue.c (in 
function ata_completed).  The output shows the values in the ata_request 
structure:

...
command=0xec  (ATA_ATA_IDENTIFY)
flags=0x282 (ATA_R_IMMEDIATE | ATA_R_READ | ATA_R_TIMEOUT)
retries=-1
...

This command is called from ata_identify_devices.  I will trace out further to 
see what is being passed in the ata_channel struct.  Please let me know any 
additional traces that will help to find the root cause.

Thanks,
Justin
