Re: sata_nv issues with MCP51 SATA controller

Is this the general opinion? - Should I try to get a replacement motherboard of the same type?

If so, can anyone confirm that the sata_nv-driver is working with the Gigabyte GA-N650SLI-DS4 motherboard at all / have anyone been successful with this MB? How about the MCP51 SATA controller? - Can anyone confirm that the driver is working for this HW? I would feel awkward to try to claim a warranty replacement if it is proved that the HW is OK after all, and the problem is with the linux-driver...

Hi,

I now tested with the adma=0 option, but if anything I got a crash quicker than before. Same error message started coming in, but this time the system hung before I was able to capture the log as well (but I saw the error, and it was the same as before, except that this time it was the ata3-channel that first started acting up..) - To remind you all what this is about, I have reattached the log that I originally captured...

Sounds like a hardware problem, since disabling ADMA is generally the cure-all we use -- it appears to stress the hardware less.
