Well, I have the same hardware as dean, and do not see the BUG_ON/WARN_ON traces that he sees. These are the same two code locations that caused spewage before. This only difference I see is that he is testing with an NCQ-capable disk, and I am not -- which could be a very significant difference. Dave also appears to have an NCQ-capable disk. Dave's output (sent privately to me) was different -- errors and corruption -- rather than the BUG_ON/WARN_ON stuff both he and dean sent in March 2007, which is interesting. Dave, any chance you could try 2.6.22-rc3 + my v4 patch, on a different hard drive? Preferably a non-Maxtor, or at least not another Maxtor 6L200S0. If that's a big deal, don't worry about it. I just want to rule out buggy firmware and/or bad hard drive in your case. dean's output (backtraces matching March 2007 reports) was what I expected, and if I can reproduce that with an NCQ-capable disk locally, I should be able to fix it from there without trouble. Probably just some hardware bits accidentally kicking into NCQ mode, when they should not.
