persisting ATA problems

[Tomas Randa]

I have

Gigabyte GA-K8VT800 motherboard, and 

ad0: 38165MB <ST340014A/3.06> [77542/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100

I thing problems are only when system is swapping, but it is only my
assumption.


Today I had the following in log:

ad0: WARNING - WRITE_DMA interrupt was seen but timeout fired LBA=637375

i don`t know exactly what does it mean and if data was written or not..
can anybody explain it?

Thanks
