Quoting Rich Demanowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I'm trying to add another hard drive into my system, a 250GB Western
Digital 7200RPM SATA drive, and when I have it plugged into the
motherboard the system hangs when it gets to:
Timecounter "TSC" frequency 1803775604 Hz quality 800
Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec
acd0: CDRW <LITE-ON COMBO SOHC-4836K/SPJ2> at ata1-master UDMA33
ad4: 114473MB <Seagate ST3120213AS 3.AHH> at ata2-master SATA150
I had a similar problem using a new SATA-II drive with my SATA150
controller. Once I closed the jumper to force the drive down to
SATA150 operation the problem went away. This isn't necessary on most
drive/controller combinations (the fallback is supposed to happen
automatically), but it was for me and sounds like it may be for you. I
had to do a bit of searching around to confirm the jumper function
since it's more or less undocumented for my drive (a Seagate).
Good luck,

Oddly enough, the answer is even more simplistic than that ... I simply
tried plugging it into a different open SATA connector on the
motherboard. If I plug it into number 2 (number 1 is connected to the
original SATA hard drive that came with the system, a 120GB Seagate), it
locks the system up like I described earlier. If I plug it into number
3 ... everything works fine.
Curious.
