hello I have a problem with a serial ata controller that uses a SiI 3512 chip.
when I'm trying to add a device thats on the 3512 controller to the array that I have, it give me lots of errors in dmesg like this: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x2400000 action 0x0 ata3.00: BMDMA2 stat 0x8652001 ata3.00: cmd 35/00:80:3f:5c:03/00:02:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 327680 out res 51/04:80:3f:5e:03/00:00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x1 (device error) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata3: EH complete sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] 976773168 512-byte hardware sectors (500108 MB) sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x2400000 action 0x2 frozen ata3.00: cmd 35/00:80:bf:75:03/00:02:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 327680 out res 40/00:80:3f:5e:03/00:00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata3: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0xd1) ata3: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset ata3: hard resetting port ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 ........... is this a bug, is there a patch, or a workaround ? I desperately need to grow the array (which is a raid5) with the new harddrives :( 10x for help -- Dan -- 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/
