As I can see, it means that channel has some active request, but it is 
in IDLE state. It is strange, but I won't be surprised much if it is the 
result of some locking problem in ata(4) in non-CAM mode.

Send me please full verbose log, if you can save it. I am especially 
interested in place around first errors.

You may try to build kernel with `options ATA_CAM` to see if it helps. 
I've mostly tested this patch in that mode.
