I was looking briefly at the port mapping issue on 4-port Promise controllers

Linux doesn't do, and which affects two of the four ports. That _could_
explain your issues.

Just as a note, I filed the issue that this thread is about as a
kernel bug:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7516

I am also experiencing the port-mapping issue you mention with
the SATA300 TX4, but I believe that the port mapping problem and
the excess status messages are separate and unrelated problems.
