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... Any help / clever suggestions is appreciated.
