Hi...
Apart from this, 2.6.9-mm1 is fairly stable (Congrats!), I use it as
samba server and is working fine. But sometimes I get this, and the
box gets unresponsive:
Nov 6 04:05:54 nada kernel: ata5: command timeout
Nov 6 04:06:19 nada kernel: hde: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x24
Nov 6 04:06:29 nada kernel: hde: DMA interrupt recovery
Nov 6 04:06:29 nada kernel: hde: lost interrupt
Any ata5 is a SATA channel on the second of two Promise cards.
Any ideas ?

I'm not sure what the cause of this is, but this does indeed to be a
common problem. This is the second e-mail today on lkml about this and
i've seen it logged against a couple of distros.
I've hit it on a test system as well, which runs 2.4.9, 2.4.21, without
problems, but hits the above error on 2.6.9, and the system becomes
completely unresponsive. Another note of interest is that i've seen the
following message in the logs:
psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization,
throwing...
So indeed it seems like some sort of timing issue?
