sata_sil problems

[Haroldo Gamal]

Jeff, 

I have a machine equipped with 3 sata interfaces, Intel, promise and
silicon Image. 

[root@backup01 hgamal]# lsmod

The machine has 6 Seagate ST3200822AS disks (3 on promise, 2 on Intel
and 1 in sata_sil).

I am having the following problems with sata_sil:

Dec  8 16:04:47 backup01 kernel: ATA: abnormal status 0xD8 on port

The kernel version is 2.6.9 (Fedora Core 2 - 2.6.9-1.6_FC2).

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance,
