You grabbed a lot of junk but you did grab this line [17179682.560000] Synchronizing SCSI cache for disk sda: Which means sd_sync_cache got called and flushed the data to disk. I don't think you can do the other needed debugging without a recompile. The following will generate a vast amount of debug of which only the end matters. You may well want to build a kernel this way, boot it with init=/bin/sh and then at the shell prompt do "halt -f" so you don't get too much debug In include/linux/libata.h change #undef ATA_DEBUG /* debugging output */ #undef ATA_VERBOSE_DEBUG /* yet more debugging output */ so both of the undef-s read define #define ATA_DEBUG #define ATA_VERBOSE_DEBUG and recompile - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
