I have the same problem, though it appears randomly. It seems like the 
chances for this happening are bigger if I do heavy disk I/O. The only 
way to fix that is to shut down the computer and wait a few seconds 
before rebooting (if I don't wait, the problem doesn't go away). I 
bought new harddrives, so it's most likely not caused by the drives, I 
also tried putting the drives onto a different controller (I have four 
on-board SATA controller and two harddrives), that didn't help either, 
so I suspect its the cable - SATA cables are very error-prone, I don't 
trust them as they don't hold that tightly in the socket.

Well that's the strange thing.. I've done heavy I/O on this with no 
trouble.  This happened overnight when my system should have been mostly 
idle

Hm.. my shuttle box has only a 350W power supply, that could indeed be 
the problem, as I have an Athlon 64 X2 4400+ CPU (dual core), two 
SATA-II 500GB harddrives and a GeForce 7800GTX.
Damn.. I thought I payed attention to the power supply when I bought the

I am fairly certain this is a bug in the 2.6.20 kernel.

I never see it in 2.6.19*, just 2.6.20.

It is some kind of but in the SATA code paths, or at least that's all it
appears to affect on my system.

What chipset do you have?

I have an nforce4 chipset.

In another thread, I think they were saying it was either a SATA chipset
driver bug, or a problem in libata core.

There's a known issue with sata_nv on nForce4 controllers running in 
ADMA mode in 2.6.20 (the first released kernel with ADMA support) where 
commands can time out when switching between NCQ commands and non-NCQ 
commands. Hopefully this is fixed in 2.6.21-rc. This doesn't seem to be 
the issue here, since his system isn't using ADMA mode, for reasons 
unclear to me..

There is one thing that seems odd, if you do have an nForce4 chipset, the
kernel should be running the SATA controller in ADMA mode in 2.6.20, but it
doesn't seem like it is from your dmesg output. Can you post the output of
"lspci -vvn"? Also what kind of motherboard is that?


Sure thing.  It's an Asus m2npv-vm.


Ah, that would be why, it's not one of the original nForce4 
(CK804/MCP04) chipsets, it's the newer nForce 430 (MCP51) chipset which 
doesn't support ADMA. NVidia said they'd be sending some patches to 
allow NCQ support on MCP51 and MCP61 chipsets back in October, but I 
haven't seen any, or information required to implement same..

fun stuff.. I guess it's back to trying to get the onboard ethernet card 
to work in debian.

FWIW, my system currently lurks around 300W from the outlet. This is
including one 21" LCD (some 30W - 50W). System is a dual dual-core
Opteron, 8x Raptor and 2x XFX 7950GT.

Full pull it does a bit above 400W. If the PSU has 80% efficiency then
it delivers around 320W to all components.

I'm pretty sure your 350W PSU is adequate.

With kind regards, Sander

I was reaching inside my computer to check something and heared the thing 
click and got the same error message.

Turns out the adaptor that goes between SATA drive and the old style power 
connector was loose on the drive side.  Doesn't seem to me like it was 
very snug fitting to begin with.  I changed it to one of the proper SATA 
connectors comming off the power supply and it doesn't do that anymore.

Sorry for the false alarm,
