Hello, all,

I've just tested both libata-dev#upstream and 2.6.17-mm5 and both work 
fine on my machine w/ sata_sil24.  It doesn't seem to be a libata 
problem ATM.  libata should have complained loud & clear if it had 
indicated error to upper layer thus causing above degraded raid array 
event.  Can you please post full boot dmesg preferably w/ timestamps?

Thanks.
