Timeout problems with ATA/SATA

[J.A. Magallon]

Hi all...

I'm getting some proeblems and hangs with latest kernels.
I have two kind of problems, with ATA and with SATA-RAID.
SATA disks ata1-8 are part of a raid5 array exported via samba
(two promise controlers, 3 out of 4 ports used on each).
hde is an ATA disk for system root.

hde gives errors with 2.6.9 and -rc4-mm1. Also ata5 (SATA).
2.6.9-rc3-mm3 is working fine.

With 2.6.9-rc4-mm1, I get this messages:
