Hi
Next silly question then:
It can't be the power supply not coping with a large number of disks
seeking simultaneously? If the voltage drops too much some disks might
shut down.
Probably unlikely, but it would yield a simple solution..

In 2.6.17-mm there is a huge SATA error handler (EH) rewrite. Is is

drivers modified to use the EH infrastructure.
Damn. I read about this in the LWN.net Kernel pages for may 17th. I
figured that once it was in, everything would automagically be using it
too (i.e. the drivers wouldn't need to be updated to the new system).
Guess I was a tad naïve about that.
I tried 2.6.17-rc5-mm2 and ran into some BUG()s which went away when I
just stuck to 2.6.17-rc5.
I would repost your problem to the lkml-ide list and see if they think
that the new EH should help you, and when/if your controller will be
using the new EH infrastructure.
Looks like a good idea, thanks!
Don't let that keep anybody on this list who might have an explanation
for this be deterred from responding though. :)
Also, there is a ton of testing going on with the new EH, so if your
willing to be a guinea pig, I'm sure you will get a lot of support
from the dev. team and get your specific driver updated ASAP.
I've been sitting on a non-functional array for almost 3 months now.
Don't mind having weird issues a little longer if it means things will
end up working nicely in the end (or I at least get a sensible
explanation for what's wrong, so I know what I must do to fix it).
Kind regards,
