Hi, I have a laptop running Linux 2.6.33 with the following SATA chip: "Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) IDE Controller (rev 03)", and I am experiencing random loss of data and a bouncing SATA link. The problem seems to be described by other people in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/297058 . After investigating for a while, I found the errata http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/specupdate/313057.pdf , see especially errata #19 which handles MSI. Is this something that is handled in the driver? I have disabled MSI interrupts by using "pci=nomsi" on the kernel boot line for now, and will see if it fixes anything - hopefully it does. -- 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
