Hi there,
That definitely looks like libata error messages but can't tell anything other than that from it. It could be cause of system hang and the weird screen or just another symptom of another problem. Is it possible for you to connect a serial console or configure netconsole (Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt) such that the messages are preserved after such hang occurs? Also, please turn on PRINTK_TIME (Kernel Hacking -> Show timing information on printks) so that we can tell what happens when. To make the info more useful, you can log into the machine from another machine and run something like "while true; do sleep 1; date; done" on it such that you can tel exactly when the machine went down.
thanks a lot for your feedback. It seems we solved the problem: it was the power supplying unit! We change some stuff (memory, cleaned the machine and so on), but after changing the power supplying unit, everything worked fine. So I guess the new kernel just had a little bit more power consumption than the previous one.
Thanks a lot for your kind help, and sorry for the false alert! :-) Florian - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
