Google seems to show that there is no publically available 
firmware updates for Maxtor disks.

Lets do one at a time. Appended below is the one for the 
older, "known good" disk.

FWIW, the "buggy" disk seems to work fine with DMA turned off (with
hdparm). I just copied 60GB from it; although this did take about 16
hours at high cpu usage.... There were maybe a a dozen DriveReady
SeekComplete Timeout errors clustered a few minutes apart.

Re: The libata problem. This is a hang during the read of the 
partition table during boot, of the "known good" disk.  I turned
on scsi and libata debugging, reproduced the hang, dilligently
copied to a piece of paper, but then left the darned piece of 
paper at home.

Presumably, its sent to the drive, but the drive does not respond.

30 seconds later, the scsi eh runs, and ands the error back to 
libata, which takes a few ineffectual shots at recovery, and 
then hangs. 

I'll try to get the details later.

Is there a way of viewing the contents of he command queue on
the hard drive, to see if the command actually made it across?
