WTF: ata1: EH complete and root partition re-mount

I have a new DELL Vostro 3500 laptop running slackware-current. In this new laptop, I have a even newer kernel(2.6.37-rc2-00001-g5dee21c) to drive it. I see

Code:

[ 9405.982175] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133

[ 9405.982185] ata1: EH complete

[ 9406.181631] EXT4-fs (sda5): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0

[ 9406.369130] EXT4-fs (sda6): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0

show up in dmesg. From http://lwn.net/Articles/149584/ , maybe EH means "Error Handler". Is it true? What's the meaning of "ata1: EH complete"? Is my hard drive broken?...

I hope not, because here

Code:

[16558.267983] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133

[16558.267990] ata1: EH complete

[16558.793040] EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0

[16558.796870] EXT4-fs (sda4): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0

it's the same thing. ;-)

Make sure you upgrade udev, it happened to me too, but I upgraded udev to this version: udev-164-i486-3 and now its not happening anymore.

I have udev-164-x86_64-3, but my system works just fine; no issues at all after the latest updates.

By the way, I have a Dell Inspiron N5010. My smartctl --all /dev/sda

Code:

# smartctl --all /dev/sda

I have udev-164-x86_64-3 installed. But still have the annoying dmesg shown up. Is this the x86_64 pkg's "problem"?

Seems OK but I don't know what is going on there...

I had the same issues with udev-164-i486-1, but then like a couple of days ago there was an update to udev-164-i486-2 and the udev-164-i486-3 and the message just didn't appear anymore.

Uhm, maybe a x86_64 specific issue?

OK, I recheck and I still have, but only when I loggin into KDE. I'm not getting the idea why... but seems to happen again.

The message show up before KDE startup. Maybe the machine is too fast to make it happen?...
