If you move the disks around, do the errors stay on the same ports (ata1/ata3),
or do they move to different ports (ata2/ata4)?
I was looking briefly at the port mapping issue on 4-port Promise controllers
yesterday and noticed a bit of programming magic in Promise's driver that
Linux doesn't do, and which affects two of the four ports. That _could_
explain your issues.
