I've been having lots of problems with SATA drives attached to higher port numbers, namely ata5 and ata6. I was installing Linux under qemu today and it had been running for several hours and had installed multi-gigabytes of data when qemu just stopped. I noticed that all I/O to the disk had ceased. Doing "atacontrol reinit" on the port (ata5) resulted in a message that the device was not configured, which was patently false since qemu had just been merrily writing to it. This with a kernel made from sources updated today at about 2 PM (GMT+1). I've also seen problems with a disk attached to ata6. It just sort of disappears after a while. Disks attached to ata2, ata3 and ata4 don't exhibit any problems. Is anyone else seeing this weird behavior? --- Gary Jennejohn
