From: linux-dvb-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-dvb-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Johnson The errors normally appear in dmesg as soon as there is any disk activity while the card is active - it seems you don't have this problem. That's annoying; I was rather hoping it was going to be triggered by every SATA driver, as this would no doubt have made it easier for the devs to track down the problem... So far the issue has been reported on systems with sata_nv and sata_sil. I don't suppose anyone else has either of those SATA chipsets and a bt878-based card? It would be helpful to know if the problem is always triggered by this combination, or whether there is something else going on. Thanks, David. ========= Just for completeness, here are the SATA-relevant entries from my dmesg: Linux version 2.6.13-rc5-smp (ilkka@a80-186-173-81) (gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP Wed Aug 3 02:11:10 EEST 2005 ...

I hope that this SATA issue will be resolved. My SATA controller is about two years old, so may be those drivers are mature enough, and the new ones more problematic. Kind regards Ilkka
