I have a problem with my Intel SR1550 server (S5000PAL motheboard, SATA/SAS controller, 5 SATA HDD Seagate ST9120822AS ).
The four drivers are in two md raid1, which striping by lvm and one drive used separately. I have problem like below with two different drives (ata3 or ata4) and ata5. I look problem like this with RedHat 2.6.18-53 kernel, 2.6.24-rc8, and today 2.6.24-git5. I reading about any problems like this in lkml.org. There can be this message will help to fix this issue.
The complete dmesg in attachment.

Are you sure this is not a hardware problem (bad disk, cable, etc?) Is
it always ata4 that fails?
