Well, for now I got this:
[ 36.833075] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen
[ 36.833085] ata1.00: failed command: SMART

[ 37.316840] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133
[ 37.316888] ata1: EH complete
during initialization. Apart from this it seems to work fine.
But in fact I'll only be able to say it helps if it survives a week-or-so
without suspend failure.
