I'm still seeing this on .29-rc5, and I think that my bug #12263 is a duplicate of bug #12609,
or more correctly it's a duplicate of mine because I reported first.

It seems like the bug has been fixed in tip/master for some time now.
Below is the diff of origin and tip from when I tested.

Ingo, do you know whinch patch in -tip fixes this regression?

This one, done on Jan 10, more than a month ago:

f1d26da: Revert "libata: Add 32bit PIO support"

When a commit causes trouble in -tip qa i immediately revert it in 95% of the cases, no questions asked. Especially if it's related to persistent storage.

OK, thanks.

We seem to have a working fix patch for this issue in bug #12609.

Wait, if this is indeed post-2.6.27 regression, it couldn't possibly have been caused by that patch which got merged during 2.6.29-rc1 timeframe. Something's up with this bug...

Also, it's been reported for a hard disk while regression in bug 12609 only hits the ATAPI devices. I think that bug 12263 needs to be reopened.

MBR, Sergei
