I just tried the main SAT-SMART driver again, on the OS X 10.6 machine on which I've been using my fork for the last couple years without issues.
Turns out the boot process hangs just after the loginwindow is first started, prints a (late) warning about a timeout waiting for some IOKit activity (I have verbose boot on), and then leaves me at a blue screen. From there, I can either power-cycle, or find another computer to ssh in and issue a reboot ... which will still force me to power-cycle as certain processes won't die.
To be sure this is not due to having been built on a post-10.6 system I rebuilt the kext and plugin, without change in the symptoms.
Any idea? Before I forget, booting with my externals disconnected from the FW800 port works fine, but then the drives won't mount when I reconnect them.
