ata_eh_reset() was missing error return handling after follow-up SRST allowing EH to continue the normal probing path after reset failure. This was discovered while testing new WD 2TB drives which take longer than 10 secs to spin up and cause the first follow-up SRST to time out.
I will actually remotely connect and start building 2.6.31-rc4 now. I will remote reboot and post the dmesg by the end of today. Ignore my previous message.
This could be fixed in 2.6.31-rc4.
