Do you have any patches which can be applied to 2.6.18 rc2? ISTR there has been some SCSI ref counting bug fixed recently. I can't really pinpoint it. I've taken a long look at libata-scsi after reading your bug report but couldn't find anything wrong although I found out that things can be simplified quite a bit. I'll submit patch for that after resolving this issue. Does 2.6.18-rc4 work on your platform albeit without sil680 support? If so, I can send you a patch for sil680 over 2.6.18-rc4.
2.6.18-rc4 without Sil680 has not been tested on my platform. What's the difference between rc2 and rc4? In other word, could I apply your upcoming patch for sil680 over 2.6.18-rc2? Quite a few other patches have to been applied to upgrade kernel for our system, I can have much quicker turnaround if your patch is applicable to 2.6.18-rc2.
