I can't reproduce the problem w/ my 3114 and unfortunately I don't
have a 3112 or 3512 around.  :-(

The only thing I can think of is the following.  Can you please try
this one?  If this one fails, we might have to resort to bisecting.
It's very weird.  The sff common code is used by other controllers but
until now the problem is only being reported on sata_sil.

Thanks.

Any chance I can persuade you into bisecting the problem? :-) Also,
can you please attach the output of lspci -nn output and .config?

Thanks.

Sorry - again no (visible) difference.

I'll see if I can find time, but I can give no estimate. However, the
box I see this on (AMD Sahara Rev F) likely has a number of
duplicates in our labs, so maybe you could try reproducing it there?

I just tried 3512 and 3112 but still can't reproduce the problem.
I'll see if I can get the same model hooked onto a remote console.

Thanks.

Just one more thing before going forward with that.  Can you please
test the current libata-dev#upstream[1] and see the problem is still
there?  Also, can you please post your .config?

Thanks.

Both 2.6.36-rc3 and the upstream branch of libata-dev fail the same
way. Attaching my .config from the latter build.
