I've been running the ata driver for about a week now. Yesterday,
for the first time, I got the messages posted below, and now again
this morning.
Note the fallback to PIO. Also note that Dec 15 is exactly 1 week
from the first time I ran with the ATA drivers, thought there have
been several reboots in the interim. The times are CST (-600). The
machine's time is synched using ntp.
