Generally it is a good idea to report problems with vendor built kernels to the vendor and their support, especially one that is 3 releases behind. They have a much better idea what is in that kernel and who else has seen problems. > [   67.124299] ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0x91) > [   67.124306] ata2.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed, > err_mask=0x4) We issued commands, it didn't respond. That could be a libata problem but actually looks more like an IRQ routing problem. > Actually I also have a PQI IDE DOM, it have same error with Ubuntu 7.04 / The PQI DOM is a bit odd, it is however known to work with libata at least for the PATA one, and the versions which don't understand SET_XFER_MODE to work with current kernels. (Your failure mode isn't the SET_XFER_MODE one - it hasn't got that far). Alan
