I have the same problem with this hardware. The harddisk is a SAMSUNG SP1614C 
again and the controller is this one:

CMD Technology Inc) SiI 3112 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev

I think I can rule out hardware problems because a FreeBSD 5.3 install
worked flawlessly on this disk. 


[The other possible thing to do is to use the siimage driver in drivers/ide,
but this one stopped working with 2.6.8 and further. The siimage driver works
quite good with 2.6.7, so this is another proof for no hardware problems]

Where did you get it? URL?

Did the same without result. I also disabled ACPI without any effect on the 
problem.

My controller's irq is unshared.

I truly hope so.

P.S.: For reference, I append my kernel configuration
