(Get the code!)
Hallo,
one interesting find. (Sorry I can't test it with another SATA controller.) I found it in a forum. The ATI sb has 6 sata ports. You can turn all to ide and only port 5 and 6 to ide. I turned to test the ide access all to ide (because i attached the drive to port 4 because of the wiring in my case). Someone in the heise forum had the drive working attached to port 6 and port 5 and 6 turned to ide. So i also tried it.
The drive is than controlled via a module pata_atiixp and worked fine without any other work around.
I will attach my new dmesg with the new setting.
I wouldn't expected any difference between turning all ports to ide and only turning port 5 and 6 to ide, so I haven't tried.
But switching port an turning port 5 and 6 in BIOS to IDE solves also the issue with this drive.
Because both optical drives are running now with ide, but this isn't a problem for me. I would guess with the ide mode the drive will not get a hard-reset and therefor doesn't hang. I can simply turn on AHCI for port 5 and 6 so i will test again with every new kernel version or suggested patch.
