Please do a "trace" command at the db> prompt and transcribe what
it prints.  This can better identify where this happens.  (I'm
not saying I know how to fix the problem, but I know this can
help narrow it down.)  Please try this with the 19981105 GENERIC
kernel.

Could be, although I don't see how the device could probe as an
IDE interface as the isapnpdevs file doesn't contain something
which would match
