[Bug 573737] [NEW] SATA problems with 2.6.32 and nvidia MCP51 controller

[szu]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic

my SATA drive started behaving strangely after the lucid upgrade (which
includes 2.6.32 kernel).

effects include:
#1 complete failures & system hangs:
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 365467184 (repeat ad infinitum)

#2 transient problems (this seems to slow down the startup)
ata4: lost interrupt (Status 0x51)
ata4.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xa0)
sr 3:0:1:0: CDB: Test Unit Ready: 00 00 00 00 00 00
ata4: soft resetting link
ata4.00: configured for UDMA/66
ata4.01: configured for UDMA/33
ata4.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa0)
ata4.00: TEST_UNIT_READY failed (err_mask=0x5)
ata4: soft resetting link
ata4.00: configured for UDMA/66
ata4.01: configured for UDMA/33
ata4.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa0)
ata4.00: TEST_UNIT_READY failed (err_mask=0x5)
ata4.00: limiting speed to UDMA/66:PIO3
ata4: soft resetting link
ata4.00: configured for UDMA/66
ata4.01: configured for UDMA/33

#3 random glitches, like window decorator does not start with gnome
session(!), usb mouse gets disconnected and reconnected again

#1 only happened once (and was really scary :-O)
#2 happens on every boot
#3 is completely random and i'm not sure if it is connected with SATA

booting with the previous kernel version (2.6.31) solves all the problems
(except that lucid can't show the graphics splash screen with the old kernel, but that's a different issue)

i won't run that kernel again (and risk the filesystem corruption) so i
don't have dmesg but i'm attaching the /var/log/messages from the
previous boot
