Yeah -- should have realized that earlier.

Since my last post (and another KDL) I looked at the syslog from the
debugger, and all the pre-crash lines are "IDE:"! So it can't be that
it's actually using ATA instead (or can it?  ATA isn't emulating IDE
or something, is it?)

It seems to be looking around for devices, and aborting every time
because "busy bit not set", until it gives up.  The final line is:

 kDiskDeviceManager::InitialDeviceScan() failed: No such File or Directory

Thanks.  Took a look, and it sounds relevant, but the syslog excerpts
look rather different.

When were significant changes to the bus drivers made?  Maybe I can
find straddling images that I could try.
