Hi, when I tried to upgrade a production box to 2.6.22, this popped up. ata2 seems to have a problem, could this likely be some controller or harddrive (e.g. failed) problem? 2.6.18 seems to tell me the same: 2.6.18: <4>ata2: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) <3>ata2: port failed to respond (30 secs, Status 0x80) <6>ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) <5>
