@stefan, I have already tested the behaviour with the mainline kernels
closest to 2.6.27-14 and 2.6.28-11. I have not tested any version
after 2.6.28-11. In all this cases, using the ahci module produces the
timeouts, but ata_piix works fine. If only i could tell the 2.6.28
kernels to use ata_piix instead of ahci, i'd take the bug as solved
through a workaround.

If you tell me how i can recover the complete dmesg log from the boot
sequence, i'd be happy to provide one. actually, i'd love it if you
could explain how can i recover the complete boot mesages that
tipically go to tty8 after boot, as the ata timeouts are also printed
there and it allows to see at which point in the boot sequence the
disk starts to hang.

In any case, i'm losing all hope with this bug, and i am still not
sure if its not hardware related, but i have tested with smart tools
and in windows and the drive seems to behave.

thanks for your interest.
