Are those timeouts back-to-back? Can you post dmesg w/ timestamp (either turn on kernel message timestamping or simply post relevant part from /var/log/kern.log). The drive thinks the command is complete. You might be losing interrupts (you might want to diddle with acpi/irq routing stuff) or it could be some other hardware problem.
here's the kern log for the last 24 hours or so: http://olricha.homelinux.net:8080/dump/kern.log As I told Jeff, I'm not sure how to diddle with the irq stuff, pointers?
Does the drive + controller work okay on Windows? I know people don't like this question so much but it's a great way to isolate hardware problems as they use completely different driver stack.
Sorry, I haven't owned a copy of Windows in >5 yrs, I would be willing to try otherwise. This computer worked with a 2 160gb sata drives, when I traded 2 160gb drives with 2 500gb sata2 drives and started making heavy use of them this happened, although I haven't had any issue with the other hard drive yet (I don't think, I need to look over the logs again to make sure I'm not saying that in err). ...snipped more stuff way above my head... -- avuton -- Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
