The following hw combination appears to be broken, up to 2.6.16-rc6,
hanging after giving the usual bunch of repeated messages whenever a
moderate
i/o load is started, in this case a sda (hitachi) to sdb (maxtor) cpio.

.... snip ....

ata2: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0xd0 host_stat 0x21
ata2: translated ATA stat/err 0xd0/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00
ata2: status=0xd0 { Busy }
sd 1:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x8000002
sdb: Current: sense key: Aborted Command
Additional sense: Scsi parity error
end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 308678943
ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0xEFA7
ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0xEFA7
ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0xEFA7

.... snip ....

The behaviour is repetitive and does not depend on hw.
Different tests were run on different disks and platforms.
Hitachi to hitachi gave no errors.

Some details follow
