    Hi Jeff,
      IMHO, there is not always a direct connection
    between the displayed message and problematic
    device(different initialization latencies). For
    example pccard on my laptop: I got them after the
    login prompt is displayed :)
     Try also a "boot -v", maybe you can pinpoint the
    problem. Did 4.8 work on your lap? Maybe you should
    include the ata0: ata1: displayed messages (got while
    you do a cold boot) to your question.
      Good luck
    /Dorin.
