Bug report, here I come.

So you can boot under the above conditions with the old/”stock” driver, but may want to do something about it soon after.

NATA, here I come.

I assume using the “Native IDE” or “Legacy IDE” options (vs. AHCI) in most BIOSes miiight be a quick fix on systems that otherwise wouldn’t boot far enough to install NATA, unless it’s not.
