After that stage the device detection takes place. as the item is a pata to sata converter (emulated sata), it does not support hot plugging. I also need to mention that this behavior (start-stop during boot) did not happen on the 2.6.24 and I need to check the 2.6.27. However the device is detected by both of these kernels.
