           Summary: SError: { DevExch } occuring and causing disruption

     KernelVersion: v2.6.24-rc2-g6e800af2

Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: v2.6.23
Rafael, one for the regression list please.
Distribution: Gentoo

Since running in the latest kernels I have been getting the following, but not
often. When it happens the computer grinds to a complete halt. Cursor will move
a small small amount every 20 seconds or so, making things pretty painful until
they complete.

v2.6.24-rc2-g6e800af2 was the first place I saw it, I didn't see it in
v2.6.24-rc1, but I was only on it briefly due to unrelated issues.

This hasn't completely been a problem too often, it happens once every day,
maybe two even, and I would bisect it but this occurs so infrequently I'm sure
I wouldn't get this bug report out until v2.6.24 :).

Now that I'm looking over my dmesg I also notice:
atl1 0000:03:00.0: tx busy
which could also be the problem

Any way I can help please let me know.
Yes, that's an ATA problem.

(there is dmesg output and a few other things at the bugzilla URL).
