Hello, Larry.

I installed a SiL3114-based PCI card (Syba) and Western Digital

to write/read any data from the drive beyond the initial drive probe. I
get a lot of messages about "ATA: abnormal status 0xD8 on port
0xF081C0C7" and SCSI parity errors. This seems to be a problem that
affected people quite a while ago, and I'm not sure why it's appearing
with a recent kernel (2.6.12.5). I've attached the output from dmesg.
Any ideas on what's happening?
Are you positive that it's not a hardware problem? Can you please try
the followings?
* another port
* another cable
* try to use them in Windows :-(
It seems that there are considerable number of crappy cables and
controllers out in the wild these days, and, combined with currently
not-so-robust error recovery of libata, they tend to result in unusable
state.
