Tejun,

This error:
> # ata1: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0xe frozen

is coming only when i insert/remove my card after board has booted up. If i keep it
inserted, and then boot the board: No such error occurs.

As suggested by you earlier, i am doing following on card insertion and removal,
after resetting card through controller.

		ata_ehi_hotplugged(ehi);
		ata_port_freeze(ap);

and after that only i get that error message through following path:
Kthread()->scsi_error_handler()->ata_scsi_error()->ata_bmdma_error_handler()
->ata_sff_error_handler()->ata_do_eh()

I tried again, but couldn't find why i am getting these two issues:
	ata1: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0xe frozen
	sda: unknown partition table
