[Bug 635577] Re: Kernel keeps reporting "EH complete" for ATA hd disk

[RichardN]

Mainline kernel 2.6.35.4-maverick!!!!

The ubuntu maverick kernel keeps reporting ( in dmesg without the >>)
>>
>> ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100
>> ata3: EH complete
>>

while there are no apparent problems with my harddrive or controller.

I have also tested mainline kernel 2.6.35.4-maverick. The problem exists
there as well. So this is a vanilla kernel 'problem'.

Removed 'requires upstream testing' tag.....

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.35-20-generic
  
- I read somewhere that earlier version of kernel repored EH complete for
- ATA drivers incorrectly. So there was no problem with the drive or
- controller, just the kernel.
+ Mainline kernel 2.6.35.4-maverick!!!!
  
- Since my laptop is running fine  (although Vista tends to park diskheads
- outside the disk) and the only error I see is:
+ The ubuntu maverick kernel keeps reporting  ( in dmesg without the >>)
+ >>
+ >> ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100
+ >> ata3: EH complete
+ >>
  
- ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100
- ata3: EH complete
+ while there are no apparent problems with my harddrive or controller.
  
  
- I assume this is due to changes in the kernel.
+ I have also tested mainline kernel 2.6.35.4-maverick. The problem exists there as well. So this is a vanilla kernel 'problem'.
