Oh boy, this code seems still not done. Björn's latest ATA fixes seemed OK
for everybody so far, at the cost of a 2-3 seconds boot time increase. Now
you're the first to report this failing, too. The problem with this code is that
it's dependent on the disk behaviour. So a piece of code booting me in 3
seconds didn't work on many other boxes.
I hope we're able to stabilize this, will need the guys with problematic
disks as guinea pigs.

0x300 sounds suspicious, do you get the same with the Debug->HW Info screen
when normally operating Rockbox?
