Even with the latest kernel, 2.6.21.2, we receive: === ata3.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x1 SErr 0x400100 action 0x2 frozen ata3.00: (irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error) ata3.00: cmd 61/80:00:00:91:91/00:00:1d:00:00/40 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 65536 out res 40/00:04:00:91:91/00:00:1d:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) ata3: soft resetting port ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/133 ata3: EH complete SCSI device sdc: 625142448 512-byte hdwr sectors (320073 MB) sdc: Write Protect is off sdc: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sdc: write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA === MD5 sums of copied files are right and we experience no other problems. Is this a driver bug? If so, can I be of any help in debugging it? lspci gives: === 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation P965/G965 Memory Controller Hub (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation P965/G965 PCI Express Root Port (rev 02) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI #4 (rev 02) 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI #5 (rev 02) 00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB2 EHCI #2 (rev 02) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 5 (rev 02) 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 6 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB2 EHCI #1 (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev f2) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801HB/HR (ICH8/R) LPC Interface Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HB (ICH8) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 016a (rev a1) 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
