I have a Silicon Image SIL3112A SATA PCI controller + 2x 200GB, 8MB Barracuda drives.
Bad combination.
OK, from the link you gave I can see that there might be some problems with SIL3112 controller + seagate disks...
The performance under 2.6 kernels is *very* poor (Timing buffered disk reads never more than 20 MB/sec); under 2.4 it runs quite fine (Timing buffered disk reads around 60 MB/sec).
2.4 risk data corruption. 2.6 sata_sil.c contains blacklist for some driver-controller combination.
See: http://home-tj.org/m15w/
...but this link just doesn't explain why performance is sooo bad with 2.6.11.x kernels (Timing buffered disk reads at 10-20 MB/sec), and is just OK with older 2.6 kernels (Timing buffered disk reads even at about 100 MB/sec with 2.6.8.1).
any clue?
or should I wait for 2.6.11.7 (?), where it should be corrected?
