	I've had similar problems with my Samsung 48/24/48, I could
usually get it recognised by using atacontrol to detach and reattach
the channel. Don't do this to channel 0 if you are booting of ata0-master
though.

	It might work better with them both on ata1 - I gave up and put
an LG drive in, works fine <clonk>.

	Anyone want a Samsung ?
