I started seeing this behavior also, but it started when I swapped =
drives from a dead Via dual chipset board machine (MSI 694D Pro, I =
think) into an athlon machine with an Asus A7Vsomething. I can get =
correct model numbers, etc. if helpful. This is a 4.8-RELEASE =
installation. I had to reboot the first time with an old 4.4 GENERIC =
leftover from installation, and I saw no errors, but after compiling a =
uniprocessor kernel I started seeing the above behavior. Although, I =
left it for awhile and eventually the machine does boot after about 30 =
of the MODE_SENSE_BIG, resetting devices lines.
