Hi Robert, Thank you for the update and for running things with a stock kernel!
It would be great if for all future tests you could keep using that kernel. Now the next step: Looking at bootupMessages makes me wonder whether this is an issue related to the order in which modules are loaded when the rescue kernel boots. Therefore, in /usr/sbin/mindi, could you find the first appearance of IDE_MODS and change it to: IDE_MODS="libata ata_piix ide ide-generic ide-detect ide-mod ide-disk ide-cd ide_cd ide-cs ide-core ide_core edd paride" and do another run? (This would basically make it so that libata and ata_piix would get loaded first.)
