I'm stumped trying to track down the below intermittent problem.....


I've confirmed this problem on 2.6.19, 2.6.20 and 2.6.21.


Any help greatly appreciated!

Nigel

Unrelated to the other error, but I've been meaning to ask for a while..

If this is 'abnormal', why does every SATA box I've seen do it?

*crickets*


Should we check for this case explicitly, and not print this?

After I get the above errors, my entire SATA bus crashes and I need to

hard reset the box ... not sure we can just ignore the errors?

Appears even with the patch provided a few months ago I'm getting

freezes. Replaced the HDD & all cables, same errors ... especially

whilst doing heavy IO.


Can anyone shed some light?

I think I was told last week that copying the appropriate mailing list will

at least prevent chirping, so let's try that.
