I tried some new things to further the resolution on this BUG. I disconnected the DVD drive, and it did not fix the problem.
I disabled smartmond (which was monitoring my two HDs and worked fine in edgy) and the problem went away. I no longer got sdb freezing and going away when I booted. So in this case it turns out to be an interaction between smartmond and the new ata-piix driver and not hald in my case. I reconnected my cd, and everything still worked, until I put an Audio CD in the drive. then I got the following errors on my main SATA Hard drive, which resolved itself after about 30 seconds and I was able to rip that cd. Ripping worked fine under Edgy BTW. I really regret upgrading to fiesty, but its too late to go back :( This happened to my primary SATA HD after inserting an Audio CD into the DVD drive...
