Hi Wesley; I'm glad you've come along :) I have almost identical problems.

I take it badblocks shows the drives as OK? (mine does)

I suggest a scan of the linux-ide archives from early february ago.
Subject: LibPATA code issues / 2.6.15.4

Mark published *two* patches to provide scsi op/cmd info which you may
want to apply. (25/2/06 and 14/2/06)
(They don't quite apply cleanly - IIRC Mark has a DPRINTK macro that
needs changing to a printk call)

Your results will then look like this (vanilla 2.6.16 with cmdpatch):

ata2: no sense translation for op=0x28 cmd=0x25 status: 0x51
ata2: translated op=0x28 cmd=0x25 ATA stat/err 0x51/00 to SCSI
SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04
ata2: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
ata2: command 0x25 timeout, stat 0x51 host_stat 0x0
ata2: no sense translation for op=0x28 cmd=0x25 status: 0x51
ata2: translated op=0x28 cmd=0x25 ATA stat/err 0x51/00 to SCSI
SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04
ata2: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
sd 1:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x8000002
sdb: Current: sense key: Medium Error
    Additional sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed
end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 393692817
raid1: sdb2: rescheduling sector 2975952
raid1: sdd2: redirecting sector 2975952 to another mirror
ata2: no sense translation for op=0x28 cmd=0x25 status: 0x51
ata2: translated op=0x28 cmd=0x25 ATA stat/err 0x51/00 to SCSI
SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04
ata2: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

By the way, 2.6.16 is not kicking the drives from the array for me.
Did you mean 2.6.15.1? (just checking)

PS I added the people from the last thread to this one as I assume
you'll be interested - hope that's OK.
