I have similar (but worse) experience:
I use feisty on a laptop, I have a Samsung Sata2 drive formatted as ext3 in an
external usb/esata box. When connected via usb there are no problems. When
connected as esata via Delock Express Card the following happens:
When hotplugging it is not detected at all ('lshal -m' shows nothing related to
un-/plugging).
When I cold start with the drive connected I see in '/var/log/dmesg' a lot of
lines referring to 'ata1' and 'sda1' they all seem to indicate that the boot
process tries to get access to the drive but fails. My internal drive which is
normally mounted as sda is now mounted as sdb.
Will posting my dmesg with and without connected drive help? If so I can do
that.
