My kernel version is 2.6.11.12-skas3-v8.2 #1 SMP The machine has 4 SATA drives sda..sdd. I`m using the ICH6 in AHCI mode. My problem is, that my sdc drive regullary fails.

I shuffled the disks so that the sda disk wich ran fine, got sdc and sdc got sda. The sdc drive failed again, and sda ran fine, so it`s not the harddrive. I schuffled the cabling (power and data) and sdc failed again. I think it is a controller/linux-kernel/motherboard/bios issue. Has anybody seen similar problem? Could a kernel upgrade help? thank you, juraj
