>Description:
(6.2-RELEASE was binary-updated from 6.1-RELEASE, which in turn was binary-updated from 6.0-RELEASE)

can always find the following from /var/log/messages: (as an example)

.. kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=39517024
.. kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=129841472

dmesg output:

    subclass = ATA

'been looking on the 'net, and only found reference to this problem in releases before the 6.X branch (5.X, for example), so perhaps it's an unsolved bug?
