Hi,
I'm still experiencing the same "port is slow to respond" problem using
sata_promise in linux-2.6.22.6 with my Promise Technology, Inc. PDC40718
(SATA 300 TX4) (rev 02) and 4 Seagate 500GB ES drives:
Model Number: ST3500630NS
Firmware Revision: 3.AEE
(with 1.5/3.0Gbps jumper removed = 3.0Gbps)
After doing:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M &
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=1M &
dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/null bs=1M &
dd if=/dev/sdd of=/dev/null bs=1M &
it runs fine for a while, then:

The "funny" thing is that it runs fine using linux-2.6.21-rc2 with
Mikael Pettersson's "1.5Gbps only" patch.
I have replaced the cables without any change. I'm quite sure this isn't
a hardware problem as I have uptime counting in months without any
problems.
Here is the relevant part of dmesg (detecting drives):
