There are 2 sata ports managed by JMB363: GSATAII-1 and GSATAII-2. I found out that kernel errors appear only if I use GSATAII-1. If I connect my drive to the GSATAII-2, there are no errors anymore. Also, Seagate testing utility Seatools for DOS 2.07PG (bootable iso) is hanging at startup even without connected sata drive, which also indicates some motherboard problem (or again, utility problem). Seagate support does not tell anything except something like "it should work"... Thanks everybody for support. -- Best regards, Sergey Spiridonov -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
