wow ... too much data :-) for a change ...
searching for important stuff ..pertainent to the problems

i assume you're using good-clean 18" long 80-conductor cable ..
- NOT the round (out-of-spec) ide whacky-wires junk ...
i'd look for mis-matched disk speeds ..
udma5 and udma6 and udma4 on the same ide cables
( you cannot mix-n-match them up )

i cant tell from the "BB-00ccb0 BB075caa0" options if you're using disks
with 2MB and 8MB buffers ... you can't mix the different buffers sized
disks on the same cable
maybe its (in reality) complaining about "hdg/hdh"
i bet the problem goes away if you removed hdi and hdj ..
or these (possibly misleading) "busy" errors moves to other disks

PDC20269 Busy primary channel problem
I'm having a really odd problem with a PDC20269. The primary channel, no
matter what, will also report the drives on it as busy. I've tried
kernel versions 2.6.1, 2.6.2-rc2, and 2.4.24 and the same problem
occurs. The Promise card detects the drives with no problem. The card
has been swapped out, the cables have been switched, the drives have
been changed, and none of this has any effect at all. I'm running debian
testing/unstable.
If there are drives on the primary channel, I run into errors such as
the following:
hdj: set_drive_speed_status: status=0xff { Busy }
hdi: max request size: 128KiB
hdi: status timeout: status=0xff { Busy }
I'm really quite lost as to what the problem may be. I've tried so many
different things I don't know what else to do besides not use the
primary chain.
I've attached my lspci -v ; my dmesg ; and my kernel .config (2.6.2-rc2)
Thanks,
Mike Garrison
