Hi there,
I get very different symptoms indeed. My drive isn't in the blacklist, and adding it has little effect (status 0xd9 to 0xd8, no other differences). Once the controller hangs, I can't even kill dd or login at a different terminal, just a complete lockup. If I have 2 drives plugged in, running the dd on one of them also hangs the other, thus I suspect the controller. Also, reading via dd is fine, only writing has trouble.
