Status register value is weird here. It's reporting device error via SDB FIS but ERR bit is not set in the status register. > ata2.03: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x10 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen This is collateral damage. > ata2.15: hard resetting link > ata2: controller in dubious state, performing PORT_RST Ah, okay. Receiving SDB FIS confused the controller. This is a erratum of the controller. If error occurs while commands are in flight to more than on device, the controller gets completely f***ed up. This is probably why the status and error registers are not updated correctly above.

The device is reporting ATA bus error.

EH had enough and limited link speed to 1.5Gbps. Did error repeat after this? Possibilities... 1. The disk or the connector on that slot is faulty. You can find out by swapping disk positions and see where the error follows. 2. The specific disk model and the PMP don't like each other at 3Gbps? Solutions... 1. If the disk is faulty, exchange. 2. If the slot is faulty, exchange. 3. If the disk has dip switch to limit PHY speed to 1.5Gbps, put it on. You will hardly lose anything.
