repeated ATA errors debian lenny
Hi all,
Recently a couple of new machines came to my hands, HP DL 180 G6 with 500Gb SATA hard disk, and I tried to setup a 2-nodes ganeti cluster with debian lenny.
Default 2-6-26 kernel does work without any issue.
I've done a fresh installation with nothing more than the basics (vim and less ;) ) and after a aptitude install ganeti, editing xen-config.xsp and grub xen options, upon restarting I get the following error on the screen:

The installed versions are:
linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686
xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386
ganeti 1.2.6-3+lenny2
ganeti-instance-debootstrap 0.5-1
drbd8-utils 2:8.0.14-2+lenny1
I upgraded to kernel 2-6-26-2 to see whether it solved the issue without success.
I also tried booting with clocksource=acpi_pm. I've also just tried acpi=off, pci=nosmi, and nocpi as suggests the ata kernel website without much success.
I've checked through internet and found the following:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480317
It should be solved because hipervisor version 3.2 is higher than the one solving the issue (3.0.3) unless redhat's version differ much from the debian ones in minnor version....which i don't think.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
Thank you in advance!!
Samuel
