I've been having intermittant problems like this with the PIIX4 on my
BP6 motherboard while I was trying to get the HPT366 working.
Configuration:

Sometimes an ST506 ghost would appear at pciide0:1:0.  I think in most (if not
all) cases it happened when the system was running and I had typed "reboot".
Usually if I pressed the reset switch, the ghost went away at the next reboot,
although there was one evening when I only managed to get rid of it by disabling
the secondary channel in the BIOS.  I've just checked, but I don't have any boot
messages from when it happened.
