I tried again a 2.6.6 based mm kernel and all is OK. Furthermore I am
not the only one getting these messages with the 2.6.7-rcX mm kernels.
Any idea? I tried to copy the older libata to the new kernel, but didn't
work as I got a compilation failure...

So I tried something new. I enabled the SCSI error reporting and now get
this:

FAILED
status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08
Current sd: sense key Illegal Request
Additional sense: Invalid command operation code
FAILED
status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08
Current sd: sense key Illegal Request
Additional sense: Invalid command operation code


I found another interesting thing: It seems those errors only appear
when I use mozilla thunderbird! Any idea what tb is trying to do to the
hd? As I said earlier kernels didn't report such errors. (Are those
actually errors?)

I'm having similar problems (posted to linux-ide last week). Its not just
thunderbird though, I can easily reproduce this under heavy disk activity
(e.g. rsync'ing lots of data with a local server while unpacking/patching a
kernel).

I seems 2.6.7-rc2-mm2 fixed the issue. At least since 2h no entry in my
logs. Well done, Jeff (if it was you :-)).
