Hi all, a bunch of my boxes started showing this on 3.7-rc1 (and maybe earlier): [ 4.667077] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 [ 4.675071] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Another one: [ 3.325371] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 [ 3.488602] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 This last one is a laptop which suspends/resumes so this message happens each time the driver gets initialized.

Judging by the logs, it must've came in during this merge window: Oct 4 11:08:13 kepek kernel: [ 4.670357] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 4 11:08:13 kepek kernel: [ 4.678833] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 4 11:29:23 kepek kernel: [ 4.690456] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 4 11:29:23 kepek kernel: [ 4.698473] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 4 11:54:20 kepek kernel: [ 4.706777] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 4 11:54:20 kepek kernel: [ 4.715194] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 4 14:30:17 kepek kernel: [ 4.666199] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 4 14:30:17 kepek kernel: [ 4.674742] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 4 15:30:17 kepek kernel: [ 4.686204] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 4 15:30:17 kepek kernel: [ 4.694194] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 10 13:09:40 kepek kernel: [ 4.670245] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 10 13:09:40 kepek kernel: [ 4.678429] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 10 15:28:56 kepek kernel: [ 4.658456] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 10 15:28:56 kepek kernel: [ 4.666485] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 12 10:38:17 kepek kernel: [ 4.694542] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 12 10:38:17 kepek kernel: [ 4.702561] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 16 14:30:26 kepek kernel: [ 4.667077] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Oct 16 14:30:26 kepek kernel: [ 4.675071] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1 Thanks. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
