dmesg shows ATA errors at boot, Slackware 14
 
So I have a server which was running Slackware -current happily for the last 25 days of uptime. I upgraded to RC1 today, and when I restarted I noticed the following messages in dmesg. I do not know if they were present before the kernel upgrade or not. They seem to happen every boot now..

Code:

This set of errors shows up fairly often in dmesg. It's been up for a few hours now and the system seems to be working fine. ata5 is /dev/sdc and is mounted as '/'. This drive is only about a month old.


I've attached the output of 'fdisk -l' and 'smartctl -a /dev/sdc' if this is useful (wall of text warning..).

"This is transmission error. Most common causes are power related or
unreliable connection especially if backplanes are involved. Is the
problem still reproducible? If so, can you please try to move it to
different power connector and SATA port and see what changes?"
... and run long self-test:
Code:
# smartctl -t long /dev/sdc

I've swapped the sata cable for a spare, connected to a different port on the motherboard and made sure everything is connected correctly. I don't see the error anymore now that it's been rebooted for about 10 minutes so I'll mark as solved and hope that it was just a dodgy cable!
