Heya,
I've been seeing intermittent failures of one of the SATA ports on a
new machine. I've tried swapping out hard drives and cables, and even
gotten a new motherboard from Dell, but it seems to persist. It
manifests as:
[ 2.512022] ata2.00: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[ 2.512037] ata1.00: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[ 2.512043] ata2.01: SATA link up <unknown> (SStatus 300 SControl 123)
[ 2.512057] ata2.00: link offline, clearing class 1 to NONE
[ 2.512064] ata1.01: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ata2.00 is always the port which is reset. The only other person to
see that error seems to have been Tim Blechmann, in
<4AC9C373.80603@xxxxxxxxxx>, which had similar symtoms. lspci -v for
this machine's IDE controllers is:

dmesg logs for a good and bad boot are attached. Any suggestions on
how to proceed from here?
Thanks,
