[Bug 269652] Re: Worrying message " ata4: EH pending after 5 tries, giving up" from dmesg

[Andy Whitcroft]

** Description changed:

  In 64bit intrepid I find the following messages repeatedly appearing in
  the kernel ring buffer "ata4: EH pending after 5 tries, giving up" and
  "ata4: EH complete". The "ata4: EH pending after 5 tries, giving up"
  message seems to appear during periods of  hard disk activity
