Strange .31 freeze - ata related

Strange .31 freeze - ata related

[Ed Tomlinson]

Hi,

I just had a strange freeze with 2.6.31.1-rc1.  Looking at the console log from startup I see that ata4 & ata5 have nothing connected.
Later while working the box stalled.  Checking the serial console I say messages from ata4 & ata5...  There really is nothing plugged
into the connectors.  Any ideas on what might have happened?

Thanks
Ed

Missing the part that says which driver this is. Can you post the full 
boot log?

The registers returning all ones suggests the hardware somehow went away 
or stopped responding to reads properly..
