Yes, but only when AHCI mode. So, who fails here - BIOS or loader?

My BIOS version seems to be the latest one.
What can I test exactly?

When I enter boot2 prompt, I choose default loader and get:

Consoles: internal video/keyboard
BIOS Drive C: disk0
BIOS Drive D: disk1

and right here the notebook reboots.

If I choose another loader (I've added to this Flash drive the /boot11
directory with loader from 11.2-RELEASE), then no crash occurs.
