Thanks, I had seen that earlier and was really hoping it wasn't just a bad card :-) It and the drive are brand-new. As an aside, it looks like the drive may get confused shortly after the initial probe. Unloading and reloading the driver causes this:
libata version 1.11 loaded. sata_sil version 0.9 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0c.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 ata_device_add: ENTER ata_host_add: ENTER ata_port_start: prd alloc, virt ee8c2000, dma 2e8c2000 ata1: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xF08C2080 ctl 0xF08C208A bmdma 0xF08C2000 irq 11 ata_host_add: ENTER ata_port_start: prd alloc, virt caf03000, dma af03000 ata2: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xF08C20C0 ctl 0xF08C20CA bmdma 0xF08C2008 irq 11 ata_host_add: ENTER ata_port_start: prd alloc, virt c589a000, dma 589a000 ata3: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xF08C2280 ctl 0xF08C228A bmdma 0xF08C2200 irq 11 ata_host_add: ENTER ata_port_start: prd alloc, virt eabe7000, dma 2abe7000 ata4: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xF08C22C0 ctl 0xF08C22CA bmdma 0xF08C2208 irq 11 ata_device_add: probe begin ata_device_add: ata1: probe begin ata1 is slow to respond, please be patient ata1 failed to respond (30 secs) ata_device_add: ata1: probe end It never responds after the initial load of the module. I wish I had a different brand of drive to try and see if that's part of the problem. Is anybody else using a WD drive?
