I'm not sure what the issue is with the new ata drivers, but I know 
Atapicam in the context of USB memory chip solid state disk readers and an 
ata DVD burner hangs the bootup process with an interrupt storm right after 
the hard disks are enumerated and just before the SMP message announcing 
the launch of the second processor would have been displayed.

I hope the new attention due to the updated ata drivers fixes it, as the 
system just hangs.  It's an unusable showstopper on all 5.x.  Same system 
works with the various Redmond, WA based commercial products.

Comment atapicam out of the kernel, all is well.
