No help for me, either. Looks like some issue specific to this hardware. Probably something that gets poked when the driver does the initial probe, but does not on an 'attach' operation. FWIW, my system has an ICH6 SATA150 controller with an unknown SATA-PATA converter. I have always assumed that the problem was the SATA-PATA converter, but George's report now make me suspicious that it is not. -- R.
