I had the same problem with one of my ATA drives that it wouldnt mount from coldstart, problem disappeared when I put in a new ATA flat cable and the drive became the fastest one of the two internal.In case this helps anyone... A couple of months back I had a SCSI HD not mounting on cold boot but doing so on restart. A good suggestion was made on this list that there was a spin-up prob and to turn on memory-check on startup to give the poor thing time. This worked. But the thing was on its way out and, last week, it packed it in (slight scraping sounds, just would not mount, even in other machines). I had backed up the disk a week earlier but still a nuisance ...
