Bug#391867: Bug 391867 Still Exists?
I am working on a machine that is exhibiting the same issues that are
described in this bug but only on an 8GB Super Talent SSD drive.
Interestingly enough, we have the same drive in 3 other servers with
the same motherboard and drive plugged into the same port and they
work absolutely fine. We did a fresh install of Debian 4.0r3 i386
(same as the other boxes that are running) and this box gave the
softreset errors on ata6. We then reinstalled the machine with Ubuntu
8.04 for testing purposes and we're receiving the same errors. The
only thing that differs between this machine and the other machines
are PCI controller configurations for external drives.
