Yes, I recently started getting the same thing on my 15" pb. It seems
that the problem is with the ATA driver. It could be that either the
kauai driver(which seemed to work before, but maybe I did not test it
well enough), or something changed in the machine independent ATA
stuff.. A quick workaround, until the problem is fixed, is to disable
ATA from the kernel (the hard drive will not work, though). You can find
such a kernel at:
