I think, it's sata_nv driver problem. I have same bug too.

When I try to disable HD401LJ, I see the same bug on WD HDDs on ata1,2,3,4.... =( I think, it's a sata_nv or sil3114 driver bug, in this mailing lists there are many same problems with this chipset. - 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
