Subject: Re: No UDMA with BLK_DEV_IT821X with 2.6.30.2

With the libata driver and "ATAPI BIOS" I get this sort of garbage (note 
I don't get these drive errors on other controllers):

After this happens hdparm fails:

root@...komen-desktop:~# hdparm -i /dev/sdg

/dev/sdg:
  HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: No message of desired type


As well as smartctl:

root@...komen-desktop:~# smartctl -H /dev/sdg
