hard drive loading problem


Archlinux boots very slow. Here is some information on boot process:

Code:
libata version 2.20 loaded.
pata_amd 0000:00:06.0: version 0.2.8
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:06.0 to 64
ata1: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x000101f0 ctl 0x000103f6 bmdma 0x0001e000 irq 14
ata2: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x00010170 ctl 0x00010376 bmdma 0x0001e008 irq 15
scsi0 : pata_amd <-system hangs here for about 15-20 seconds
ata1.00: ATA-7: SAMSUNG SP2514N, VF100-33, max UDMA/100
ata1.00: 488397168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 
ata1.00: Drive reports diagnostics failure. This may indicate a drive  <-then i notice this
ata1.00: fault or invalid emulation. Contact drive vendor for information.
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100
scsi1 : pata_amd -> everything is far more quick here
Is there something wrong with my hard SAMSUNG SP2514N? Or i can do something to speed up the process.

btw samsung hard drive is 250G. And when I formated one logical partition on it(qtparted) to ext3, I noticed that 11Gigs of space were marked as occupied on this partition.
Also I didn't get this error on slackware.

Run 'smartctl -a' on the drive to get details.

Yes, your drive is fine. The error at boot appears bogus. If your maintenance (in particular the kernel) is up to date, you might consider filing a bug report with your distribution.

I solved the problem by replacing ATA connector with the new one.Old one isn't looking good(i.e. slightly cut wires etc).
