Still ATAPICAM Lockup/Slowdown

Hi Chaps I am tracking 6-STABLE,
FreeBSD funkalicious.home.dom 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #9:

If I kldload atapicam, the command returns to the # prompt but then the
system is basially not responsive, I can type something like
# ls
but the command never returns, if I try and switch console to my X
console it kinda freezes halfway there.
I think there are problems with atapicam...
I have also tried compiling atapicam into my kernel -
I have a fairly straight-forward kernel config (see below) I think, yet
if I enable "device atapicam", and buildkernel and installkernel and
reboot, the system starts up fine until it get's to finding disks and
then it goes incredibly slowly, takes about 5 minutes to get to
"harvesting interupts" and so on and so on, I think it will eventually
get to the login prompt, but I havent been tolerant to wait that long
>15 minutes.
Are there known problems with atapicam? or conditions under which it
causes a massive system slow down, some sort of conflict timeout or loop
problem maybe?
My System is -
Intel Pentium IV 3.2GHz
MSI 848P-Neo Motherboard
2GB DDR RAM (2x1GB)
1 x 120GB Maxtor SATA Hard Disk
HighPoint Tech RocketRaid 1640 RAID5 Card (with 3 x 250GB Maxtor SATA
Hard Disks attached)
NVIDIA GeForce 6800LE 256MB
I have tried booting the system with and without the HighPoint RAID
Driver (hpt374.ko = http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/bios_rr1640.htm)
loaded and it seems to make no difference. I have also at one stage
removed the RAID card from the system, but this also seemed to make no
difference.
If I dont use "device atapicam" the system is perfect, but I could
really do with enabling it, for CD/DVD writting purposes...
Thanks Adam.
