I have an Athlon64 machine running kernel 2.6.10-rc3 (but this problem has happened on 2.6.9-ac7 as well) with a VIA VT6420 SATA controller. Every few days (the problem is not chronologically consistent) and/or when there's heavy disk usage, the main SATA disk (a Western Digital model WDC WD1200JD-00G) will just completely stop responding to any I/O, and a lot of SCSI error messages will be output to the console. After a few instances of this happening (which requires a hard power-off, then power-on.. just hitting the reset button causes the SATA controller not to recognize the drive on boot), I finally managed to capture some of the kernel messages, since somehow I could still read one of my log files (cached in memory, I guess). The same set of errors just keep repeating over and over. I also believe there was an ext3 error that showed up on the console and not in the log, but I assume this is not an ext3 problem anyway. The partial log file and the output of lspci -vvv are attached. I have no idea whether this is a software or hardware problem. Running Western Digital's diagnostics on the drive turned up no errors. If anyone has seen this problem before and it turned out to be hardware-related, I'd like to find out exactly which component is the culprit. Thanks in advance, Ari --------------090401010205080107030008 Content-Type: text/x-log; name="kern.log" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="kern.log" Dec 15 17:26:57 darth kernel: SCSI error : <0 0 0 0> return code = 0x8000002 Dec 15 17:26:57 darth kernel: Current sda: sense = 70 3 Dec 15 17:26:57 darth kernel: ASC= c ASCQ= 2 Dec 15 17:26:57 darth kernel: Raw sense data:0x70 0x00 0x03 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0a 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0c 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 Dec 15 17:26:57 darth kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 132221255 Dec 15 17:26:57 darth kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block 16527649 Dec 15 17:26:57 darth kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on sda1 Dec 15 17:26:57 darth kernel: ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0xEC07 Dec 15 17:26:57 darth last message repeated 2 times Dec 15 17:27:27 darth kernel: ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0xd0 host_stat 0x1 Dec 15 17:27:27 darth kernel: ata1: status=0xd0 { Busy } Dec 15 17:27:27 darth kernel: ata1: called with no error (D0)!
