Well, since I can duplicate the exact same error here consistently, I'll grab 2.6.18rc1 and report back if I can reproduce the error there or not.
If you don't want to try the whole 2.6.18.rc1 kernel, the new EH is available as a big patch for 2.6.17 Cut and paste from Tejun Heo's announcement on July 10: === Updated version available. * Link resume handling in the previous version was broken causing libata to ignore hotplug event after a link has been hot-unplugged. Fixed. * A few other hotplug related problems are fixed. I expect this version to have well-behaving PMP and hotplug support. If anything seems weird, please report.
