Hi all,
I have a SATA drive in a motherboard with an ATI SB600 chipset that
until now worked just fine.
The disk seems fine but after a while it start making noises (like
spinning up) and the computer freezes during 2 or 3 seconds. I think my
SATA drive is broken, or maybe the motherboard. This is what dmesg says:
[ 229.096000] ata4: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x90200 action
0x6 frozen
[ 229.096000] ata4: (irq_stat 0x00400000, PHY RDY changed)
[ 229.096000] ata4: hard resetting port
[ 233.400000] ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
[ 233.404000] ata4.00: configured for UDMA/133
[ 233.404000] ata4: EH complete
[ 233.404000] sd 3:0:0:0: [sda] 160836480 512-byte hardware sectors
(82348 MB)
[ 233.404000] sd 3:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
[ 233.404000] sd 3:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00
[ 233.404000] sd 3:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache:
enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
This happens randomly, maybe after a few seconds, maybe after an hour.
Sometimes if the coimputer case receives a little bump or it is moved
the problem appears inmediatly.
What's the kernel complaining about? Something is broken isn't it? I
hope it's the cable...
I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 with kernel 2.6.22-14-generic in a dual processor
computer. Below there's some hardware information. The output of dmesg
is attached. Thanks!
Matías.
