Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce this problem here (2.6.26 + pata tree)
so please try to debug it and/or narrow it down to the guilty change.

Thanks, I folded the fix into original patch (->dev_flags is not yet
upstream so -stable fix shouldn't be necessary).

While on it: I later noticed that there will be also need for common
ATA/ATAPI ->dev_flags in the future so I wonder whether current
->dev_flags should be renamed to ->atapi_flags (& s/*DFLAG*/*AFLAG*/).

If there is agreement on this I'll fix it in pata tree.
