No, I don't think it is -- there's a bit in the drive status
for indicating CRC errors, and it is not showing up here.

I think it's still just libata sending some command that this
drive does not implement.  You really need to dump out the failed
ATA opcode.

I *think* this (uncompiled, untested) patch may do it for you on 2.6.16/17:
