Did it use PIO ? If so it may be stuck in an interrupt loop (because the
drive and driver don't agree on how much data was transfered, there was more
than just a 'lost interrupt' problem on the IDE bus).
It should be fixed in -current, and I asked for a pullup yesterday.

Any chances to try this again once the pullup is done (or try a -current
kernel) ?
