atapicam trouble

I run 6.1-STABLE-200607 on my brand new box with
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2 x 2,40 GHz cpu (beautiful piece of machinery)

I can use my dvd-devices with atapicd, but atapicam do not work.

kldload atapicam causes an interrupt storm, I guess.
I tried to take out atapicd from the kernel after reading 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/73675
In fact, I removed ataraid atapifd atapist too, without any luck.

Here is output from top -S a few seconds after kldload atapicam

Could anyone point me in a direction too solve this, please?
