You still haven't had a response ;) Let's add a cc. Oh, you reported it against 2.6.23-rc4-mm1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/1/92) and I did cc linux-ide in my response. I'll continue to point out where this sort of thing occurs because last week I was told that a reson why so many bug reports are ignored is because "linux-kernel has too much traffic". > The system boots, reads the partition tables, starts the RAID and then > kicks one drive out because of errors. Andy is using qla1280. You're using sata. So it's probably a different bug, with the same symptoms. > > > qla1280: QLA1040 found on PCI bus 0, dev 10 > > > Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 99922590 ns) > > > Time: jiffies clocksource has
