Hello,
I got a Promise TX4 SATA 300 Controller with 3 SAMSUNG HD400LJ SATA 300
disks (sdc, sdd, sde), the disks runs under a software raid5 with Luks
(Cryptography layer) and Lvm2.
The disks works well and there is no data loss, but i'm continuously and
always getting worrisome error messages and poor performance (with brief
system jams) when i perform writing operations to disks. Reading data
works well and seems to give no error messages.
I've checked cables and power supply and i've tryied swapping
controller's pci slot and playing with bios irq setting. None of them
changed the results, so i'm assuming the presence of a kernel bug. I'm
sorry if i'm getting wrong and then wasting your time.
My kernel version:
Linux version 2.6.21.5 (root@transylvania) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070601
(prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-12)) #1 SMP Fri Jun 15 20:25:41 CEST 2007
This presumed bug was present on linux 2.60.20.7 too.
On kernel 2.6.18.1 the bug was present, but with different error
messages, the messages were identical to those reported by another user
on this mail: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/25/198
I got an Asus CUV4X-D motherboard with two PIII 800Mhz CPUS, this is my
home server :)
Here is an example of the given error messages:

Everyone seems to be having problems with the Promise SATA300 TX4. I have an
almost identical setup: SATA300 TX4 with 3 Samsung 400GB drives, and I get very
similar errors.
In 2.6.20 my card would soft restart all the way down to PIO mode and kill my
performance. In 2.6.22-rc5 it will hard reset from 3.0 Gb/s to 1.5 Gb/s and
operate relatively stable until heavy I/O.
If anyone reading these threads (there have been quite a few in various places,
see 'sata_promise error handling just a few hours ago) needs any additional
information to help solve this problem, please let me know.
