Hello,
I am running Gentoo Linux on a Asus A8V-MX mainboard with the Via VT8251
southbridge chipset. The sata-controller is configured as AHCI.
Bios version is 0210.
The drive is working properly with the drivers of VIA.
A Maxtor drive works correct on this controller but this seagate drive
(ST3808110AS) fails on both modes (1.5Gb/s or 3.0Gb/s).
Here you can find the log-results after doing some actions on this
drive. After the sector errors the drive could not be accessed by fdisk.

And the drive and/or port is completely deaf.
Can you please unplug power to the drive and replug it while EH is in
progress, umm.. say during the first hardreset?
