howdy,
i am using the sata_sil driver with a Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3112
Controller and have recently started receiving these messages on driver
load:
[17179867.424000] libata version 1.20 loaded.
[17179958.936000] sata_sil 0000:02:0b.0: version 0.9

[17179975.928000] scsi0 : sata_sil
[17179976.132000] ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0)
As a result, the maxtor 250gb drive fails to be detected :(
I'm roughly 1900 miles away from this box so I have no ability to
physically inspect the device. I'm worried that the drive is blown (sure
wish smartmontools was compatible with libata so I might have seen this
coming sooner!) but after checking the usual sources I'm still not
Any insights are greatly appreciated!
