Hi,

we have commented these lines in device.hints:

> #hint.ata.0.at="isa"
> #hint.ata.0.port="0x1F0"
> #hint.ata.0.irq="14"
> #hint.ata.1.at="isa"
> #hint.ata.1.port="0x170"
> #hint.ata.1.irq="15"

and now there are no errors in dmesg,

but:

1. ataamd doesn't load automatically atapci.ko, so I kept the order.
2. after loading modules and 
# atacontrol detach ata0
# atacontrol attach ata0

I can't still see my CF connected to net5501.

Is it possible to load dynamically modules or do they have to be compiled in kernel... ?
