Just in case someone else hits this problem, intel apparently has fixed
this issue

18 January 2011

Firmware version : 2CV102M3

This firmware revision fixes enumeration and slow-boot issues on SATA 6Gb/s
controllers, adds improvements to S.M.A.R.T. attributes for more accurate
reporting of drive health, improves NCQ capability, and fixes possible
drive hangs when reading S.M.A.R.T. self-test log.
