Subject: BIOS update == more errors (was Re: sata exception frozen timeout?)

I've updated my bios to try and see if it would help at all (it did seem to 
fix other issues).

But now I'm getting the following warnings and errors from dmesg on boot: 
(debian sid 2.6.30, with "noapic" to see if the original problem was an 
interupt issue, as everyone seems to have hinted at).

On boot, it seemed to hang the disk up for a good few minutes, even though 
nothing is using it at the moment (I have to manually bring up the mdraid0 
array, so it can't possibly be mounted), and smartctl was erroring out for a 
while, but now its fine, and smart shows no issues.

I'm going to try without noapic on 2.6.30, and 2.6.31-rc5 and see what 
happens.
