The driver must freeze the system after the drives were identified
because
the it can't handle read requests. It's a feature, not a bug. ;-)

I found a number of *very* serious bugs in IDEPolledRead() in atapi.c
and
ide.sys. After fixing most of them I'm able to identify EIDE harddisks
and
ATAPI cdrom/dvd drives. I'm working on the remaining bug with the ATA-5
spec
'in my hands'.

This should fix most of the harddisk-related failures.
