[sata_nv] timeout waiting for ADMA IDLE, stat=0x440

["Maarten Maathuis" <madman2003@gmail.com>]

I have this problem several times, always with the same harddrive, a
samsung sp2004c. My samsung hd161hj and hd321kj don't seem to suffer
from this problem. I do not know when exactly it happened for the
first, but it has happened twice on a 2.6.22 kernel.

Is there anything that can be done about this (besides disabling adma
for all drives), or any information i can provide to help?

Please CC me, as i am not a member of this mailinglist.

Sincerely,

Maarten Maathuis.
