I've rebooted the box a few times, and have observed that the drive LED flickers normally up until: > atapci0: <ATI IXP600 SATA300 controller> port > 0xff00-0xff07,0xfe00-0xfe03,0xfd00-0xfd07,0xfc00-0xfc03,0xfb00-0xfb0f mem > 0xfe02f000-0xfe02f3ff irq 22 at device 18.0 on pci0 > atapci0: [ITHREAD] > atapci0: AHCI v1.10 controller with 4 3Gbps ports, PM supported > ata2: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0 > ata2: port is not ready (timeout 0ms) tfd = 000001d0 > ata2: software reset clear timeout > ata2: [ITHREAD] At which point after the software reset, the drive LED stays solidly on from then onwards.
