I have tested this patch:

http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/2.6/OLD/2.6.28/patch-sata_promise-reset-updates-v1-2.6.28

On a vanilla 2.6.28.6 kernel.

It works without any problems.

Unfortunately I had to replace a faulty power supply - which may have 
been the cause for my system failing earlier (as reported in previous 
postings to this list).

Hardware:

AMD Barton 2500 on Nforce2 motherboard with

Promise Technology, Inc. PDC40718 (SATA 300 TX4) (rev 02)

4 Seagate 500GB ES drives:
   Model Number:       ST3500630NS
   Firmware Revision:  3.AEE
   (with 1.5/3.0Gbps jumper removed = 3.0Gbps)


Best regards
