different drive, different cable, same controller, but second port

So that Stat/err = UDMA_CRC_Error_Count!

No, I don't think it is -- there's a bit in the drive status
for indicating CRC errors, and it is not showing up here.

I think it's still just libata sending some command that this
drive does not implement. You really need to dump out the failed
ATA opcode.

I *think* this (uncompiled, untested) patch may do it for you on 2.6.16/17:

had to change

KERN_WARN -> KERN_WARNING

then more errors

the patch never worked for me even when I had gotten it to work in
2.6.15.4, it never showed me what I wanted to see

drivers/scsi/libata-scsi.c: In function 'ata_gen_fixed_sense':
drivers/scsi/libata-scsi.c:638: error: 'ata_op' undeclared (first use in
this function)

do you know who wrote the original patch?
