Hey, some news: I tried 2.6.25 by putting PPA in my apt sources as described here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/218140/comments/14
After this I booted 2.6.25 and then noticed this in /var/log/messages: [ 24.595347] ata1: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps [ 24.595369] res 40/00:08:17:1f:80/00:00:01:00:00/40 Emask 0x50 (ATA bus error) [ 24.595382] res 40/00:08:17:1f:80/00:00:01:00:00/40 Emask 0x50 (ATA bus error) [ 24.595394] res 40/00:08:17:1f:80/00:00:01:00:00/40 Emask 0x50 (ATA bus error) [ 24.595406] res 40/00:08:17:1f:80/00:00:01:00:00/40 Emask 0x50 (ATA bus error) [ 24.595418] ata1: hard resetting link [ 24.673642] ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) [ 24.732712] ata1: hard resetting link [ 24.740560] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) [ 24.742791] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 [ 24.742803] ata1: EH complete [ 24.742899] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 156301488 512-byte hardware sectors (80026 MB) [ 24.742937] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off [ 24.742992] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA After that I did not experienced any ATA bus errors any more. Before that the drive was reset to 3.0 Gbps again after each link reset. Now at the first ATA bus error it is reset to 1.5 Gbps and the works well. I then removed the PPA from apt-sources, removed the 2.6.25 packages and booted back into the 8.0.4 Hardy 2.6.24 kernel and - oh wonder - it still does the reset 1.5 Gbps! I do not understand this... Hopefully this stays this way, but can somebody explain me, what has happened? The reset to a lower link bandwidth has not happened before the (rolled back) update to 2.6.25! Currently I have Ubuntu 32Bit installed and would like to install the 64Bit version. But since the ATA bus errors also occurr in 64 Bit version (tested by booting the install iso)I would like to know how I can get the kernel to set the link bandwidth to 1.5 Gbps without having that unstable 2.6.25 kernel.
