J. Midgley) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I have a Dell Latitude D610 that is brought to its knees by ata timeouts intermittently (about once a day, on average). Rebooting has always recovered thus far. Kernel 2.6.15.6 (with Suspend2 2.2 patch), using ata_piix - kernel .config at: http://b.xenoclast.org/config_ata_prob At the point the machine becomes unusable, I get the following on the console: ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0xd0 host_stat 0x21 ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0xd0/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00 Buffer I/O error on device sda3, logical block 1533312 ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0xd0 host_stat 0x21 ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0xd0/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00 Buffer I/O error on device sda3, logical block 1533546 ata1: command 0x25 timeout, stat 0xd0 host_stat 0x21 ... Any thoughts would be much appreciated. lspci/hdparm output below.
