Strange kernel messages using sata_sil under 2.6.7-rc1-mm1

[Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>]

Hi,

Earlier, I switched from 2.6.6-mm2 to 2.6.7-rc1-mm1.
I now get the following messages in dmesg, which I have not seen before:

FAILED
   status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08
   Current sd: sense = 70  5
ASC=20 ASCQ= 0
Raw sense data:0x70 0x00 0x05 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x06 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 
0x20 0x00
FAILED
   status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08
   Current sd: sense = 70  5
ASC=20 ASCQ= 0
Raw sense data:0x70 0x00 0x05 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x06 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 
0x20 0x00

I get approximately one of these messages every 20 minutes.
Problem persists after a reboot.

grepping for "Raw sense data" suggests that this message comes from the SCSI 
layer. The only SCSI-like thing on my system is my SATA disk. It's a Seagate 
40GB IDE disk, connected via an IDE-SATA converter to a:

0000:01:0b.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. (formerly CMD Technology 
Inc) Silicon Image Serial ATARaid Controller [ CMD/Sil 3112/3112A ] (rev 02)

Despite these messages, the system seems to be running OK.

Is this a problem with the SATA implementation or should I report it to the 
SCSI developers? Any patches I should try reverting or adding?

Thanks,

Daniel
