Hi All, I am seeing the following messages during boot up of latest kernel image on APM X-Gene 1 Mustang board with sil3132 card plugged in and 2 disks connected. Similar messages are also seen during dd/xdd operations. This happens even when libata.force=noncq parameter is set on command line. No errors are seen with a single disk.

The sil data sheet mentions that it supports a direct command transfer method and I wanted to use that to see if that makes any difference. But it looks like the driver doesn't support this method. Is that correct? I was wondering if anyone has faced a similar issue with the sil3132 card. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
