It should be noted that my raid controller card driver (htprr) is exhibiting the same issue. Before 8.0, both the ata and htprr drivers would recognize a HD insertion and the disks information would be scanned and device nodes created. On 8.0, the best I can see is that the drive insertion is detected (the htprr driver prints a message about drive insertion/removal), but the disks are never scanned for drive information nor device nodes created.
