Yes.  I'm sure it is the problem.  jmb and I spent a long time looking
at it at bsdcon.

Send me your address.  I'll ship you one when I return on wednesday
with a 10MB ata card.  I have several extra.

I've seen it broken on my laptop which has known good irq routing. :-)
Doesn't matter what irq/address is used.  It of course fails for ata
controllers in conflict with built in hardware :-) It used to work
flawlessly.  -stable worked before you mfc.  I've been traveling so I
don't know the exact status in stable, but it is exactly the same
failure mode as -current has.  I'll know more later in the week.
