I can confirm this bug on the same machine.

The problem has been reported two years ago here: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bugme-new/2006-October/015008.html

BUT I didn't experience it with Debian Etch (Kernel 2.6.18), maybe because of fewer probing retries or shorter timeouts.

I haven't found a workaround. The kernel option ata2=noprobe doesn't work (as several other people pointed out with similar problems and different chips)
