Sounds like PCI not being completely restored. We had to work around
some weird ATA issues in FreeBSD with the status register being invalid
for quite a while after resume. A retry loop was the solution.
FreeBSD seems to fail in the same way on the same hardware,
unfortunately. I'm leaning towards suspecting that we need to be doing
something with the contents of the _GTF method, but by the looks of that
that requires us to be able to work out which methods correspond to
which hardware. Is anyone working on implementing this?
Very interesting. I was hoping to someday have _GTF et al implemented
but the ATA knowledge required was above my head. I also strongly
suspected that the info published by _GTF would likely be invalid. Does
Windows actually use that method or just hardcoded ATA initialization?
