Comment(by Adek336):

 Replying to [comment:1 axeld]:
 > Have you switched to the "ata" bus manager? Because that one is known to
 take much longer to boot for now.
 I'm not sure, I haven't done any explicit actions to choose one of these,
 but in the log I get a lot of "IDE: something something" and "ide:
 something something" messages.

 I now have found out that I have installed a hard drive, that when it is
 not physically attached, Haiku doesn't take excessive amounts of time to
 boot. However when it is attached I get something like
 {{{
 KERN: intel: pm_identify_partition (...)
 KERN: check_sense: Hardware error
 ...
 }}}
 lots of times.
 FreeBSD also complains about this drive and boots a bit faster (probably
 performs less tries), Windows is installed on this very drive, and,
 Windows boots very fast and works well.

 So I believe this is a problem with my drive, but not with it being
 physically broken but perhaps the partition table is a bit flawed.

 I will try to find out what is wrong with the drive. Please leave this bug
 open until I ensure that the problem is in fact caused by something like a
 broken partition table and not with Haiku (and FreeBSD) erroneously
 failing to read a good partition table.

 Also, regardless of if the mentioned drive is attached, I get large
 quantities of
 {{{
 KERN: ide: reset_device() 0x91587e80 failed, calling reset_bus
 }}}
 is this a sign of a problem or is it normal that it has problems with
 resetting a bus every single boot?
