Hi Soren/group,

After spending a little time sniffing around in my BIOS I realized that
my BIOS (Award BIOS) defaults to disabling UDMA for both master and
slave and for some reason I never thought to check this....duh. Anyway
after setting this to "auto" for both master and slave the problem seems
to be fixed!

This is curious because I was running the wd driver with the BIOS set
wrong all along and never had any errors or problems (AFAIK). So why
does the wd driver seem to ignore this incorrect configuration while the
ata driver trips over it?

Does this help anyone?

Thanks again for your help Soren/everyone else.
