2.6.27 - swncq problem with nforce 570 and ST3320620AS?

[Jan De Luyck <ml_linuxkernel_20080830@kcore.org>]

Hello,

I switched not too long ago to 2.6.27-series, and since then I've been getting this now and then at bootup:

This was with 2.6.27.4, upgraded today to 2.6.27.7.

Disk in question is:

ATA device, with non-removable media
        Model Number:       ST3320620AS                           
        Serial Number:      9QF1QMGA
        Firmware Revision:  3.AAE

Anyone any idea what might be causing this?

I have several disks of the same type in my PC, with different firmwares though - this is the only 
one exhibiting this problem.

Kind regards

Jan
