This bug (in general, not just this on this web) have been in GNU/Linux since a long time with various disks, mainboards, SATA controllers, distros and kernels (maybe since changes after 2.6.24).
In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684599 David Zeuthen says "it's most probably caused by this commit http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;h=560de575148b7efda3b34a7f7073abd483c5f08e " Possible workarounds readed to this bug: -1: Add "libata.atapi_passthru16=0" to the kernel boot options (because some devices may not support 16-byte ATA commands) ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684599 ) -2: (Same as 1) Add options libata atapi_passthru16=0 to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and add FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf" to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=895404 ) -3: Somebody called Fujisan said in 2009 "adding 'acpi=off noapic' to the kernel in /etc.grub.conf seems to have solved the problem for me" ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=462425 ). Raman Gupta and Andreas M. Kirchwitz say in other forums that adding 'acpi=off' doesn't work ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=549981 ) -4: (Similar to 3) Completely disable ACPI in mainboard BIOS. ( http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/01/msg00023.html ) -5: Gaetan Cambier says "add the option line to grub to disable ncq : 'libata.force=noncq' for me, with this, i have no froze". ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=549981 ). Others reply that it doesn't work for them. PsYcHoK9 sys it works for him but John Doe replies that not for him ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/285892 ). -6: Reartes Guillermo says "booting with the kernel parameter: pcie_aspm=off ? For me it worked (nvidia)". Raman Gupta replies that "I tried this and it did not fix the problem." ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=549981 ) -7: A. Mani says "For the SB600 controller, the right thing to do is to restrict all drives to 1.5Gbps by jumpers or with a boot option." Raman Gupta replies "I also tried this -- but with this setting all drives attached to my Marvell controller could not even be started by the kernel -- permanent "failed to IDENTIFY" errors." ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=549981 ) -8: DjznBR (djzn-br) says he have trying some things WITHOUT success it and finally one that works. Doesn't work: TURNED HDPARM OFF, CHANGED CABLE, EXPERIMENTED AHCI & RAID MODES, DISABLED NCQ, COMPILED KERNEL WITH CONFIG_SATA_PMP DISABLED, TRYING NOW LIBATA.FORCE=1.5GBPS, changed the cables to different routes... SATA1 -> SATA2 SATA2 -> SATA3 ---- Works (but still gives "softreset failed (device not ready)" messages in dmesg and afterwards recover without data loss) : Added option for kernel in grub configuration "libata.noacpi=1". Also says "libata.force=norst ... prevents soft and hard link resettings. If you have that switch on, when this bug comes up, there is a system lock down (because obviously the kernel prevented the soft & hard resetting." ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/285892 ) Same problem in my old PC/Server Pentium II MMX with Debian 6.0.3 (stable) with kernel 2.6.32-5-686 and libata version 3.00 in an "IBM-DTLA-305010" 10Gb IDE disk (configured by debian as sda) in an old mainboard . No RAID used, but only soft reset, and no hard reset, so I don't lose data. Could send logs, but I think they wouldn't give any more info. Same problem in my desktop PC every 2 or 3 months in Debian testing with kernels 3.0.0-1-amd64, 3.0.0-rc2-amd64, 2.6.39-2-amd64, 2.6.39-amd64, 2.6.38-2-amd64, 2.6.38-amd64 and maybe others older, and libata 3.00 in two Seagate 7200.11 "ST3500320AS" 500Gb SATA2 disks (with last firmware) from a RAID10. Fortunately the other two Western Digital "WDC WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0" 1Tb SATA3 disks don't fail, but I have to reboot and re-add disk to reconstruct raid. Could send logs, but I think they wouldn't give any more info.
