2.6.32.3 with the patch disabling JMB363 and "catch all AHCI" applied.
Nothing connected to SATA, only PATA in use.
I understand the following doesn't set the AHCI_HFLAG_IGN_IRQ_IF_ERR
and thus doesn't ignore PORT_IRQ_IF_ERR, but the latter doesn't seem to
be set.

sometimes the two lines become:

Now plugging something into the mb connector (1.5 Gbps device, the same
which my VT6421A-based miniPCI card doesn't like):
ata10: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4050000 action 0xe frozen

Well, let's unplug it. Power down first:

Seems stable at this point, no additional messages.
Then removing the plug from (unpowered) SSD - IRQs start appearing again
every few seconds. Mostly:
ata10: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4000000 action 0xe frozen
ata10: irq_stat 0x00000040, connection status changed
ata10: SError: { DevExch }
ata10: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps
ata10: hard resetting link
ata10: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310)
ata10: EH complete
sometimes SErr 0x4060000 and 0x4040000
Fine, so let's connect it again (device still not powered):
Messages stopped.
Disconnected again, messages started, reconnected, stopped.
Am I to use the SSD as a passive SATA terminator?
Any further ideas welcome :-)
