Hi,

i have a brandnew Promise SATA 300 TX4 Controller and 2 Samsung HD
(SP2004C). I am using Linux 2.6.15 and also tried 2.6.15.4 with
sata_promise-driver. I get sector-errors:

ata2: PIO error
ata2: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
ata2: PIO error
ata2: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
ata2: PIO error
ata2: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
ata2: PIO error
ata2: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
hdd: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33)
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
ATA: abnormal status 0xFF on port 0xF880029C
ata2: translated ATA stat/err 0xff/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00
ata2: status=0xff { Busy }
ata2: command timeout
ATA: abnormal status 0xFF on port 0xF880029C
ata2: translated ATA stat/err 0xff/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00
ata2: status=0xff { Busy }
sd 1:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x8000002
sda: Current: sense key: Aborted Command
Additional sense: Scsi parity error
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 9482176
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 1185272

I get the error at heavy hd-usage, and also on both harddisks. So i think
it is not a problem of the harddisks. I use softwareraid, but it does not
work. I think it should take out the harddisk with the error, but it does
not. The system is hanging....

Do you have any idea?

Thanks a lot
