Hello

I found it would eventually lock up with the hdd led shining steadily.

I saw the lockup happen finally and I saw a stream of
hda: lost interrupt
I did not try to reproduce it with 2.6.5 because it takes hours of
compilig to cause the lockup.

Could you try it with a 2.6.5 kernel please? There were some changes made 
between 2.6.5 and 2.6.7 that may well cause issues with HD's attached to 
dongles. There have been patches created for this by they have not yet made 
the mainstream kernel.

I'd be interested to see how that pans out.

With 2.6.5 I get the same results.

The libata error message:

ata1: DMA timeout, stat 0x0
ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on prot 0xEC07
scsi0: ERROR on channel 0, id0, lin0, CDB: Write (10) 00 01 65 dc e7 00

Note that the 0xd0 is the same as the ide DMA timeout error.

Thanks
