 Here's a me-too so sue me :-)

 I see something much like this on a G4 mac at work, but it won't ever
 find the disk. It also shows the same kind of DRDY loops. I'm not sure
 if the disk is a samsung, but it never finds it. OSX and Linux both
 happily use it.

 I had some debugging exchange with boyer@ about this, but it seems
 he turned too busy to help me further. I'll build a new kernel tonight
 and see if it works.

 Now that I think of it, the disk might actually be a samsung.
