I'm also seeing "failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED" using a GA 990FXA-
UD7 board with Crucial m4 SSDs connected to the Southbridge SATA
controller (ATI SB950) on oneiric . Sometimes this error would crash the
machine (the RAID5 module actually), sometimes it will just reset the
SATA link and keep going.

A workaround that solves the issue for me is to go to the BIOS and
disable "SATA3.0 Mode" for the southbridge SATA. This reduces the SATA
link speed to 3Gbps, although Linux still reports 6Gpbs in the kernel
log.

I'm using a SATA drive bay from Thermaltake. Maybe the additional
connectors in there degrade the SATA link in a way that makes SATA3
unreliable. This is just speculation, I didn't test it when the drives
are directly connected to the mainboard.
