Sorry to bother again, but the bug seems to be still there. After two month without any problems I am getting the same errors again.

After a restart/Reset my systems says "Read error" after POST... nothing more! :( [...] [ 10.782056] [drm] Initialized nouveau 1.1.0 20120801 for 0000:03:00.0 on minor 0 [ 12.225065] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x2 SErr 0x400000 action 0x6 frozen [ 12.225124] ata1.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error [ 12.225151] ata1: SError: { Handshk } [ 12.225169] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [ 12.225196] ata1.00: cmd 61/08:08:58:86:04/00:00:04:00:00/40 tag 1 ncq 4096 out [ 12.225196] res 40/00:0c:58:86:04/00:00:04:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [ 12.225230] ata1.00: status: { DRDY } [ 12.225252] ata1: hard resetting link [ 12.544038] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 12.544838] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 [ 12.544862] ata1: EH complete [ 12.545530] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x3 SErr 0x400000 action 0x6 frozen [ 12.545588] ata1.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error [ 12.545619] ata1: SError: { Handshk } [ 12.545648] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [ 12.545688] ata1.00: cmd 61/98:00:10:55:c5/00:00:02:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq 77824 out [ 12.545688] res 40/00:04:10:55:c5/00:00:02:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [ 12.545744] ata1.00: status: { DRDY } [ 12.545770] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [ 12.545808] ata1.00: cmd 61/08:08:00:08:84/00:00:03:00:00/40 tag 1 ncq 4096 out [ 12.545808] res 40/00:04:10:55:c5/00:00:02:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [ 12.545858] ata1.00: status: { DRDY } [ 12.545882] ata1: hard resetting link [ 12.864036] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 12.864814] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 [ 12.864843] ata1: EH complete [ 12.865010] ata1: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps [ 12.865023] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0xf SErr 0x400000 action 0x6 frozen [ 12.865066] ata1.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error [ 12.865086] ata1: SError: { Handshk } [ 12.865104] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [ 12.865130] ata1.00: cmd 61/20:00:60:38:0c/02:00:04:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq 278528 out [ 12.865130] res 40/00:0c:10:55:c5/00:00:02:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [ 12.865165] ata1.00: status: { DRDY } [ 12.865181] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [ 12.865205] ata1.00: cmd 61/98:08:10:55:c5/00:00:02:00:00/40 tag 1 ncq 77824 out [ 12.865205] res 40/00:0c:10:55:c5/00:00:02:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [ 12.865241] ata1.00: status: { DRDY } [ 12.865256] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [ 12.865281] ata1.00: cmd 61/98:10:20:50:c4/00:00:02:00:00/40 tag 2 ncq 77824 out [ 12.865281] res 40/00:0c:10:55:c5/00:00:02:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [ 12.865315] ata1.00: status: { DRDY } [ 12.865331] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [ 12.865356] ata1.00: cmd 61/08:18:b0:0d:5c/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 3 ncq 4096 out [ 12.865356] res 40/00:0c:10:55:c5/00:00:02:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [ 12.865389] ata1.00: status: { DRDY } [ 12.865410] ata1: hard resetting link [ 18.224029] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) [ 22.872035] ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) [ 22.872084] ata1: hard resetting link [ 23.192037] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) [ 23.192850] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 [ 23.192884] ata1: EH complete [ 125.744509] forcedeth 0000:00:0a.0 eth0: link up
