The other person (see below) reported the same thing, also using a PATA controller, and also using Seagate disks (though different models). We now have two reproducible test cases where users are seeing continual errors from the controller when attempting to set the transfer mode, enable read and write caching, and SET_MULTI. The only similarity so far is that they're both PATA users. In Kristian's case, his disks were in a usable state, but we ultimately determine the Silicon Image controller might be responsible for what he was seeing (the SMART errors we saw in his logs could've been from any time in the past; he saw errors on multiple disks, and not all of those disks shown SMART log errors)... while David's not using a Silicon Image controller at all.

If at all possible, it would be good to get this hammered out before 7.1-RELEASE is tagged. Does it work if booted on a 8-current kernel ? The driver path's used by the SiI0680 and the SX4060 are *very* different, mind you. -Søren I tried the 200810 8.0-CURRENT snapshot CD. The error messages were approximately the the same until: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode ... current process = 12 (swi6: task queue) [thread pid 12 tid 100014 ] Stopped at ata_promise_sx4_command+0x39: movl 0xc(%eax),%esi
